Steps:
- 1. Preheat oven to 350.
- 2. Wash and slice squash into small medallions or dice into smaller pieces if the squash is large. I prefer smaller sized squash since it is tender. Put squash into a large bowl for mixing with the filling.
- 3. In a separate bowl, mix together the soup, mayo, eggs, cheese, onions, salt, and pepper.
- 4. Pour over squash.
- 5. Stir until well mixed.
- 6. Then pour into a casserole dish for baking.
- 7. Crush crackers while in "tubes" (I usually wrap them in a dish towel to avoid a mess, and use a rolling pin or meat tenderizer) or place in a resealable plastic bag.
- 8. Pour crushed crackers into a bowl. Melt butter in the microwave and stir into crackers until moist.
- 9. Drizzle on top of casserole. (You can make more or less of the topping. More topping = more yummy!)
- 10. Bake at 350 degrees until bubbly and brown on top (usually 45-50 minutes). Bake for 30 minutes covered. with foil to help prevent crackers from burning.
- 11. Then uncover and bake an additional 20 minutes until golden brown on top.
- 12. ***If you want, you can add a cup of chopped cooked chicken into casserole. Also, adding 2 cups of cooked rice into it makes a delish meal.
Tips:
- Choose the right sweet potatoes: Look for firm, unblemished sweet potatoes that are about the same size. This will help them cook evenly.
- Pierce the sweet potatoes before baking: This will help the steam escape and prevent the potatoes from bursting.
- Bake the sweet potatoes until they are tender: You can check this by inserting a fork or toothpick into the center of the potato. If it goes in easily, the potato is done.
- Let the sweet potatoes cool slightly before handling: This will help prevent them from breaking apart.
- Use a potato ricer or masher to get smooth mashed potatoes: A potato ricer will give you the smoothest results, but a masher will work just fine.
- Add your favorite mix-ins: You can add whatever you like to your sweet potato casserole, such as butter, brown sugar, marshmallows, pecans, or walnuts.
- Bake the casserole until it is bubbly and golden brown: This will take about 30 minutes.
- Let the casserole cool slightly before serving: This will help it set and make it easier to slice.
Conclusion:
Sweet potato casserole is a classic Southern dish that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste. With its sweet and savory flavor, creamy texture, and golden brown crust, sweet potato casserole is sure to be a hit with everyone at your table.
