Sweet Potato Casserole image

This version of the classic Thanksgiving side dish forgoes the traditional marshmallow topping for a generous sprinkle of brown sugar, butter and pecans. You get crunchy, soft and sweet all in one glorious bite.

Categories     casseroles, side dish

Time 2h

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

4 medium-large sweet potatoes (about 3 pounds)
6 tablespoons brown sugar
1/4 cup orange juice
1/4 cup heavy cream or whole milk
3 1/2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon salt
3 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened slightly
1/2 cup dark brown sugar
3/4 cup chopped pecans

Steps:

  • To make the casserole, heat oven to 375 degrees. Bake sweet potatoes until very tender, about 1 hour 20 minutes. Remove and let cool. Reduce heat to 350 degrees.
  • When potatoes are cool enough to handle, cut them in half, scoop out flesh and mash until smooth. You should have about 4 cups. Using a hand mixer, mix in brown sugar, orange juice, heavy cream, butter, vanilla and salt. Place in a casserole dish.
  • To make the topping, combine the butter, brown sugar and pecans. Sprinkle over sweet potato mixture. Bake for 30 minutes. Serve hot.

This casserole was a bit too sweet for my taste. I would cut back on the sugar next time.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my casserole turned out dry and crumbly. I'm not sure what went wrong.
