Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
- Place the sweet potatoes on a foil-lined baking pan. Bake until a paring knife inserted in the center pierces easily, about 1 hour. Cool slightly.
- Meanwhile, cook the bacon in a medium skillet over medium heat until crisp and brown, about 7 minutes. Transfer to a paper-towel lined plate to drain. Reserve 1 tablespoon of the bacon fat. Crumble bacon.
- Halve the sweet potatoes lengthwise. Carefully scoop most of the flesh out into a bowl, leaving enough flesh in the skin so that it holds its shape. Add the bacon, bacon fat, scallions, maple syrup and 1 cup of the cheese to the sweet potato flesh. Stir together and season with salt and pepper to taste. Refill the sweet potato shells and sprinkle with the remaining cheese.
- Place the sweet potatoes back in the oven until heated through and the cheese is melted, about 15 minutes. Top with the reserved scallions and dollops of sour cream.
MAPLE GLAZED SWEET POTATOES WITH BACON AND CARAMELIZED ONIONS
I made this for Thanksgiving dinner and my family went crazy over it. It is simple, looks great on the table and has already been requested for Christmas dinner! This recipe can be adjusted as you like by adding more or less bacon and onions.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Toss the sweet potato chunks, olive oil, salt, and black pepper in a large bowl, and spread the sweet potatoes out onto a large rimmed baking sheet.
- Roast in the preheated oven until browned and tender, about 40 minutes; stir after the first 20 minutes.
- Cook the bacon until crisp and brown in a large skillet over medium heat, about 10 minutes; transfer bacon to a bowl, but leave the grease in the skillet. Cook the onions in the bacon grease until browned, about 10 minutes, stirring frequently. Reduce heat to low, and cook the onions until very soft, brown, and sweet, another 10 to 15 minutes. Stir often. Mix the onions with the bacon in the bowl, and set aside.
- Pour the maple syrup into the hot skillet with the thyme, and bring to a rolling boil. Boil the syrup until reduced by half, 3 to 4 minutes. Place the roasted sweet potatoes and onion-bacon mixture into the skillet, and stir to coat the vegetables with maple glaze. Transfer to a serving dish.

Tips:
- Choose the right sweet potatoes: For the best results, select firm, medium-sized sweet potatoes with smooth skin and no blemishes.
- Roast the sweet potatoes first: Roasting the sweet potatoes before adding them to the soup intensifies their natural sweetness and gives the soup a richer flavor.
- Use good quality bacon: Thick-cut bacon with good marbling will provide the best flavor for the soup.
- Don't overcrowd the pan when cooking the bacon: This will prevent the bacon from crisping up properly.
- Use a good quality vegetable broth: A flavorful vegetable broth will make a big difference in the overall taste of the soup.
- Season the soup to taste: Add salt, pepper, and any other desired seasonings to taste before serving.
- Garnish the soup with your favorite toppings: Chopped parsley, crumbled bacon, or a dollop of sour cream are all great options.
