Time 45m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 tablespoons unsalted butter, for greasing the baking dish
1 1/2 pounds yams, peeled and cut lengthwise into 1-inch thick slices
5 ounces (about 32) sweetened round crackers (recommended: Maria Crackers), or graham crackers
3/4 cup whole almonds, coarsely chopped
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon salt
6 tablespoons (3/4 stick) chilled unsalted butter, diced
4 large ripe but firm bananas, peeled and halved lengthwise
1 (10 1/2-ounce) bag mini marshmallows

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Coat the bottom of a 13 by 9 by 2-inch glass baking dish with 2 tablespoons butter. Set aside
  • In a heavy medium pot add the yams and cover with cold water. Bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce the heat and simmer until tender, about 10 minutes. (The color of the yams will turn brighter).
  • Meanwhile, put the crackers, almonds, cinnamon, and salt in a food processor and pulse a few times to combine until coarse but not fully ground. Add 6 tablespoons butter and pulse until the mixture forms lumps slightly larger than peas. Refrigerate the streusel topping until ready to use.
  • Spread half of the bananas and yams in 1 layer in the bottom of the prepared dish. Sprinkle with half of the streusel and half of the marshmallows. Repeat to make 1 more layer. Bake until the marshmallows are golden, about 25 minutes. Serve warm.

This casserole is a great way to use up overripe bananas. It's also a good source of potassium and fiber.

I followed the recipe exactly, but the casserole didn't turn out right. It was too runny and didn't hold together.

The casserole was a bit dry and bland. I think it could have used more spices or herbs.

I found this casserole to be too sweet for my taste. I think I would have liked it better if I had used less sugar.

This casserole was just okay. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't anything special either.
