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:

  • To save time, you can use pre-cooked bacon. Just crumble it and add it to the casserole before baking.
  • If you don't have a casserole dish, you can use a 9x13 inch baking dish. Just make sure to adjust the cooking time accordingly. You may choose individual ramekins for a more elegant presentation.
  • To make the casserole ahead of time, assemble it and refrigerate it for up to 24 hours before baking. When you're ready to bake it, let it come to room temperature for 30 minutes before baking.
  • To make the casserole more festive, you can top it with marshmallows or pecan before baking. If adding marshmallows, wait until 5 minutes left before the end of baking.
  • For an extra crispy topping, use panko breadcrumbs instead of regular breadcrumbs.

Conclusion:

Sweet Potato Casserole with Bacon is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for any occasion. It is a great way to use up leftover sweet potatoes, and it is sure to be a hit with your family and friends. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy casserole recipe, give this one a try.
