SPICY SWEET POTATO CASSEROLE



Spicy Sweet Potato Casserole image

Tired of the same old sweet potatoes? Ready to skip another sugary, marshmallow side at your holiday table? So am I. :-) Found this while scanning magazines at a neighbors and quickly scribbled it down. The combination of dweet and savory additions look to enhance, not mask, the wonderful flavors of the under appreciated sweet potato. This will be gracing our holiday table next year and will likely make an appearance before then. Soon to be at a table at your house? Hope so.

Time 40m

Yield 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 tablespoons canola oil or 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
2 medium sweet onions, halved and thinly sliced
3 1/2 lbs sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into large cubes
2 cups water
3/4 cup golden raisin
2 tablespoons light brown sugar
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon ground ginger
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper

Steps:

  • In a large skillet, heat the oil over medium-high heat. Add the sliced onions and cook for 3 minutes, stirring occsionally. Add in the sweet potatoes and cook an additional 10 minutes.

  • While the sweet potatoes are baking, prepare the streusel topping. Combine the oats, flour, brown sugar, and butter until crumbly. Set aside.
  • Once the sweet potatoes are cooked, mash them with a potato masher or electric mixer until smooth. Stir in the milk, butter, and spices.
  • Transfer the sweet potato mixture to a greased 9x13 inch baking dish. Sprinkle the streusel topping evenly over the top.
