Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Ingredients     Meat & Poultry     Pork Recipes

Number Of Ingredients 10

3 medium sweet potatoes (1 1/2 to 2 pounds), scrubbed well
4 ounces smoked bacon, sliced
2 tablespoons dark-brown sugar
3 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
2 small shallots, finely minced
1 teaspoon minced fresh rosemary, plus more for garnish
1 large egg
2 tablespoons heavy cream
2 ounces Gruyere cheese, finely grated, plus more for garnish
Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Place the sweet potatoes on a parchment-lined baking sheet; bake until tender when pierced with a paring knife, about 45 minutes. Remove from oven; let cool slightly.

SAVORY SWEET POTATO CASSEROLE RECIPE BY TASTY



Savory Sweet Potato Casserole Recipe by Tasty image

Here's what you need: Kroger Sweet Potatoes, bacon, small yellow onion, fresh thyme, fresh rosemary, kroger heavy whipping cream, large egg, kosher salt, freshly ground black pepper, shredded gruyère cheese, unsalted butter, crumbled herb stuffing, fresh thyme

Provided by Kroger

Yield 9 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

3 lb Kroger Sweet Potatoes
6 slices bacon
1 small yellow onion, chopped
½ teaspoon fresh thyme, chopped
½ teaspoon fresh rosemary, chopped
⅓ cup kroger heavy whipping cream
1 large egg
¾ teaspoon kosher salt
freshly ground black pepper, to taste
1 cup shredded gruyère cheese
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 ½ cups crumbled herb stuffing
1 teaspoon fresh thyme, for garnish

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C).
  • Place the sweet potatoes on a baking sheet and poke each one a few times with a fork. Bake for 40-50 minutes, or until very soft. Remove from the oven and let cool until easy to handle. Reduce the oven temperature to 350°F (180°F).
  • Meanwhile, cook the bacon in a medium skillet over medium heat until crispy. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain.
  • Pour out all but 2 tablespoons of bacon grease from the skillet. Add the onion to the skillet and cook over medium heat for about 5 minutes, or until soft and translucent. Add the thyme and rosemary, and cook, stirring, until fragrant, about 1 minute. Remove the pan from the heat and let the onions cool slightly.
  • Scoop the flesh of the sweet potatoes into a large bowl, discarding the skins. Add the cream, egg, salt, and pepper, and stir to combine. Add the onions and Gruyère cheese, and stir to incorporate.
  • Transfer the sweet potato mixture to a 9-inch square glass baking dish.
  • Make the topping: In the same skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the stuffing and stir until warmed through and slightly toasted, about 2 minutes.
  • Sprinkle the crumbled stuffing evenly over the sweet potatoes. Crumble the bacon and evenly sprinkle on top.
  • Cover the baking dish with foil and bake for 30 minutes, until heated through. If desired, remove the foil and broil on high until the topping is lightly browned, 1-2 minutes. Keep an eye on the casserole so it does not burn.
  • Remove the casserole from the oven and garnish with fresh thyme. Let cool for about 10 minutes before serving.
  • Enjoy!

Tips:

  • Choose the right sweet potatoes. Look for ones that are firm and free of blemishes.
  • Pierce the sweet potatoes with a fork before baking. This will help them cook evenly.
  • Bake the sweet potatoes until they are tender when pierced with a fork. This usually takes about an hour.
  • Let the sweet potatoes cool slightly before handling them.
  • Use a sharp knife to cut the sweet potatoes in half lengthwise.
  • Scoop out the sweet potato flesh, leaving a thin layer of flesh around the skin.
  • Mash the sweet potato flesh with a fork or potato masher.
  • Add your desired seasonings and mix well.
  • Spoon the sweet potato mixture back into the sweet potato skins.
  • Bake the sweet potatoes for an additional 15-20 minutes, or until they are heated through.
  • Garnish with fresh herbs or crumbled cheese, if desired.
