BACON AND BROWN SUGAR TOPPED SWEET POTATO BAKE
This is not your typical sweet potato casserole that you have during the holidays, it's more savory than sweet. The potatoes are whipped and creamy with just enough spices to keep it from being bland. I really love the hint of garlic, it's a nice surprise. The topping really makes this dish special. The brown sugar crystalizes...

Steps:
- 1. Bake sweet potatoes for approximately one hour in a 350 degree oven. Let cool until you can touch them and peel sweet potatoes.
- 2. Preheat oven to 350. Grease a casserole dish with cooking spray.
- 3. In a large bowl, mash sweet potatoes. With electric mixer, beat in all ingredients EXCEPT bacon and brown sugar. Beat until well blended and spread evenly into casserole dish.
- 4. Fry bacon until crisp.
- 5. Crumble bacon and combine with brown sugar. I like to process mixture in food processor.
- 6. Sprinkle evenly on top of sweet potato mixture.
- 7. Bake for 30-35 minutes.
Tips:
- To save time, use pre-cooked bacon. Otherwise, cook the bacon until crispy and drain on paper towels before chopping.
- If you don't have a food processor, you can mash the sweet potatoes by hand with a potato masher or fork. Just make sure to mash them until they are smooth and creamy.
- You can substitute chicken broth for the water in this recipe. This will give the casserole a richer flavor.
- If you like a sweeter casserole, add 1/2 cup of brown sugar to the sweet potato mixture.
- Top the casserole with a pecan topping for a crunchy, nutty flavor. To make the topping, combine 1/2 cup of chopped pecans, 1/4 cup of brown sugar, and 1/4 cup of butter. Sprinkle the topping over the casserole before baking.
Conclusion:
This sweet potato casserole with bacon is a delicious and easy-to-make side dish that is perfect for any occasion.
