SWEET POTATO CASSEROLE



Sweet Potato Casserole image

This sweet potato casserole is the same recipe my family makes for Thanksgiving each and every year. Of course there's always the great topping debate. The crunchy brown sugar streusel is a given, but I like a few toasty marshmallows as well. My mother begrudgingly designates a small corner of the casserole just to appease me. Hey, at least I don't have to share!

Time 2h

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

3 pounds sweet potatoes
3/4 cup sugar
1/3 cup whole milk
1/4 cup (4 tablespoons) butter, melted
2 large eggs, lightly beaten
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground nutmeg
1/2 cup packed brown sugar
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
3 tablespoons butter, cut into pieces
1/2 cup chopped walnuts

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
  • For the filling: Roast the sweet potatoes on an aluminum foil-lined baking sheet for approximately one hour, or until tender. Cut the sweet potatoes in half and cool until able to touch. Peel and mash the sweet potatoes with a fork or potato masher. (This should yield approximately 4 cups.)
  • In a large bowl, combine the mashed sweet potatoes, sugar, milk, butter, eggs, vanilla, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Beat with an electric mixer until smooth. Spoon the sweet potatoes into a lightly greased 1-1/2 to 2-quart casserole dish.
  • For the streusel topping: In a medium bowl combine the brown sugar and flour. Using a pastry blender or your fingertips, cut the butter into the brown sugar mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs. Stir in the walnuts. Sprinkle the streusel over the sweet potato mixture. Bake the casserole until the streusel is golden brown and bubbling, 35 to 40 minutes.

SMALL-BATCH SWEET POTATO CASSEROLE



Small-Batch Sweet Potato Casserole image

This recipe has all the flavors of the Thanksgiving classic, just in smaller form. Honey, I shrunk the sweet potato casserole! Mini marshmallows ensure you get lots of charred edges, which are pretty much the best part of sweet potato casserole anyhow. For ease, you can assemble the ramekins on a baking sheet when toasting the marshmallows.

Categories     side-dish

Time 1h5m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 1/2 pounds sweet potatoes (about 4 medium large), peeled and cut into 1-inch pieces
1/4 cup plus 1 tablespoon half-and-half
3 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 teaspoon light brown sugar
1/8 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg, optional
Kosher salt
1 ounce cream cheese
1 1/3 cups mini marshmallows

Steps:

  • Combine the sweet potatoes, half-and-half, butter, brown sugar, nutmeg if using and 1/2 teaspoon salt in a large saucepan over medium-low heat and cook, covered and stirring occasionally, until the sweet potatoes begin to break down, 15 to 20 minutes.
  • Reduce the heat to low and continue to cook, covered, stirring occasionally and breaking up the pieces as you stir, until the sweet potatoes are completely tender and have almost entirely fallen apart, another 25 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, position an oven rack in the upper-third of the oven and preheat to 450 degrees F.
  • Add the cream cheese to the saucepan. Mix with a handheld mixer until the cream cheese is fully incorporated and the sweet potatoes are smooth.
  • Use a spatula to transfer 1 cup of the sweet potato mixture to each of four 1-cup ramekins. Top each ramekin with a 1/3 cup of the mini marshmallows. Bake until the marshmallows are puffed and browned, about 5 minutes.

THE BEST SWEET POTATO CASSEROLE



The Best Sweet Potato Casserole image

We opted for a nutty crumb topping over marshmallows to create a pleasantly crunchy contrast to the creamy and soft mashed sweet potatoes. The filling gets a pumpkin pie-like treatment, with brown sugar and vanilla for a deep caramel flavor and butter and eggs for richness. This recipe is bound to become a holiday staple.

Time 45m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

1/2 stick (4 tablespoons) unsalted butter, melted, plus more for buttering the baking dish

SWEET POTATO CASSEROLE



Sweet Potato Casserole image

This take on the classic Thanksgiving side has the right amount of sweetness and irresistible buttery flavor, not to mention the right balance of creamy and crunchy. Crushed cornflakes make the topping extra crisp, but you can skip them if you want. The two cups of mini marshmallows called for may not cover your entire casserole, allowing a little of that sweet potato filling to peek out, but feel free to use more marshmallows to cover it all the way. With all its flavors and textures combined, this quintessential holiday dish will have everyone coming back for more.

Categories     casseroles, vegetables, side dish

Time 2h

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

1/2 cup unsalted butter (1 stick), at room temperature, plus more for greasing the pan
6 large sweet potatoes (about 4 pounds), scrubbed
2 large eggs, at room temperature
1 (14-ounce) can sweetened condensed milk
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1 cup finely chopped pecans
1 cup lightly crushed cornflakes (optional)
1/2 packed cup light or dark brown sugar
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 cup unsalted butter (1/2 stick), melted
2 cups mini marshmallows, plus more to taste

Steps:

  • Prepare the filling: Heat oven to 350 degrees. Grease a 9-by-13-inch baking dish with butter and line a baking sheet with aluminum foil.
  • Poke the sweet potatoes all over with a fork and place on the baking sheet. Bake until soft, about 1 hour; let cool.
  • When sweet potatoes are cool enough to handle, peel them using a knife, then add the flesh to a large bowl (or the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment) and mash with a potato masher or fork.
  • Add the 1/2 cup butter, eggs, condensed milk, granulated sugar, vanilla and salt to the bowl. Combine well with a hand mixer or a stand mixer on medium speed. Add the mixture to the prepared baking dish and, using a spatula, smooth out the top.
  • Prepare the topping: In a medium bowl, stir together the pecans, cornflakes (if using), brown sugar, flour and butter until thoroughly combined. Spoon the topping evenly over the sweet potatoes.
  • Bake the casserole until slightly browned, about 35 minutes. Remove the casserole from the oven and add the marshmallows in an even layer. Return to the oven and bake until marshmallows are toasty and melted, about 5 minutes. Let sit for 5 minutes before serving.
