This came from a McCall's Cooking School sheet I got years ago. Have made for Thanksgiving over the years and just love the combination of the sweet potatoes and bananas together. Enjoy.

Time 1h20m

Yield 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

4 lbs sweet potatoes
1 teaspoon salt
6 medium bananas, about 2 1/2 lbs
1/4 cup orange juice
1/2 cup light brown sugar, firmly packed
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
2 tablespoons butter or 2 tablespoons margarine

Steps:

  • Scrub potatoes; place in large saucepan with salt. Add boiling water to cover; bring to boil over high heat. Cover pan and reduce heat to low; simmer 30-35 minutes or until potatoes are tender. Drain, peel and cut potatoes crosswise into 1/4" thick slices.
  • Preheat oven to 375. Using butter, margarine or solid vegetable shortening, thoroughly grease a 2 qt deep casserole dish.
  • Peel bananas; cut into 1/4" thick slices. In medium bowl, place bananas and orange juice; toss to coat. In small bowl, mix brown sugar with cinnamon. Set aside.
  • In bottom of prepared casserole dish, arrange 1/3 of the potato slices in a single layer, overlapping the slices slightly. Top with half of the banana slices and sprinkle with 1/3 of the sugar mixture. Dot with 1/3 of the butter.
  • Repeat layering with another 1/3 of the potato slices and the remaining bananas, reserving some bananas for the top. Sprinkle with 1/3 of the sugar mixture and 1/3 of the butter. Top with remaining potato slices; arrange several banana slices on top. Sprinkle with remaining sugar mixture; dot with remaining butter and pour on rest of orange juice. Bake 45 minutes or until bubbly.

I've made this casserole with both sweet potatoes and yams. Both are delicious, so use whichever one you prefer.

This casserole is a great make-ahead dish. You can make it the day before and then just reheat it when you're ready to serve.

This casserole was a bit of a disappointment. The flavor was bland and the texture was mushy. I won't be making it again.

This casserole was a bit too sweet for my taste, but my kids loved it. I think I would use less sugar next time.
