Drunken Sweet Potato Casserole image

Thanksgiving wouldn't be Thanksgiving without this dish. I've no idea where the recipe came from originally--my grandmother has been making it since long before I was born.

Categories     Yam/Sweet Potato

Time 2h30m

Yield 8-10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

3 -4 lbs sweet potatoes
butter
salt
milk
mini marshmallows
1/4 lb butter
3/4 cup dark brown sugar
1 egg, beaten
3 -4 ounces Jim Beam bourbon whiskey

Steps:

  • Boil the potatoes until done.
  • Skin and mash potatoes while still warm. Add butter and salt to taste. Add milk until the consistency is like creamy mashed potatoes.
  • Put potatoes in a 2 quart casserole dish. Scoop a hollow in the center of the potatoes and create a rim of potatoes around the edge of the pan. Set aside.
  • In a double boiler, cook 1/4 lb butter, brown sugar, egg, and bourbon, stirring constantly, until thickened (1/2-3/4 hour--in my experience it never really thickens).
  • Poor this syrup into the center hollow of the casserole and over the whole top.
  • Line the edges of the casserole with the mini marshmallows.
  • Bake at 350F for 45 minutes or until the sauce is a very dark brown.
