Number Of Ingredients 12

4 slices hearty white bread, torn into large pieces
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
2 1/2 cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese
8 slices bacon, chopped
1 onion, minced
4 garlic cloves, minced
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
5 lbs sweet potatoes, peeled, halved lengthwise, and sliced thin
3/4 cup heavy cream
3/4 cup buttermilk
2 1/2 teaspoons salt

This casserole was a bit too spicy for my taste, but my husband loved it. I'll probably use less cayenne pepper next time.

This casserole was a bit bland for my taste. I think I'll add some more spices next time.

This is a great recipe for a quick and easy weeknight meal. I used pre-cooked bacon to save time, and it still turned out great.
