Cheese Topped Sweet Potato Casserole Recipes

Steps:

• For the sweet potatoes: Add 1 3/4 pounds peeled and cubed sweet potatoes to a large pot of salted water. Bring to a boil over high heat, then lower the heat to a simmer and cook until the potatoes are very tender, 15 to 20 minutes. Drain and cool. Mash the sweet potatoes.
• For the filling: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Butter a 2-quart baking dish.
• Whisk together the butter, mashed sweet potatoes, milk, brown sugar, vanilla, salt and eggs in a large bowl. Transfer to the prepared baking dish.
• For the topping: Combine the flour, brown sugar, butter and salt in a medium bowl until moist and the mixture clumps together. Stir in the pecans. Spread the mixture over the top of the sweet potatoes in an even layer. Bake until mostly set in the center and golden on top, 25 to 30 minutes. Serve hot.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Put sweet potatoes in a medium saucepan with water to cover. Cook over medium high heat until tender; drain and mash.
• In a large bowl, mix together the sweet potatoes, white sugar, eggs, salt, butter, milk and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth. Transfer to a 9x13 inch baking dish.
• In medium bowl, mix the brown sugar and flour. Cut in the butter until the mixture is coarse. Stir in the pecans. Sprinkle the mixture over the sweet potato mixture.
• Bake in the preheated oven 30 minutes, or until the topping is lightly brown.

Steps:

• Fill a large pan with boiling water from the kettle and set over a medium-high heat. Carefully drop in the whole, unpeeled sweet potatoes and cook for 30 minutes until very tender when pierced with the tip of a sharp knife. Drain well and leave to cool for 10 mins, then peel.
• Heat the oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4. Tip the peeled sweet potatoes into a large bowl, add the butter and mash with a potato masher until completely smooth. Tip in the brown sugar, milk, eggs, spices and vanilla and whisk until everything is combined and smooth.
• Lightly butter a 20 x 30cm baking dish, then scrape in the sweet potato mixture. To make the topping, rub the butter into the flour, then stir in the brown sugar, pecans and a good pinch of salt. Sprinkle the topping evenly over the sweet potato filling, then bake for 45-50 mins until golden on top.

Steps:

• Prepare the filling: Heat oven to 350 degrees. Grease a 9-by-13-inch baking dish with butter and line a baking sheet with aluminum foil.
• Poke the sweet potatoes all over with a fork and place on the baking sheet. Bake until soft, about 1 hour; let cool.
• When sweet potatoes are cool enough to handle, peel them using a knife, then add the flesh to a large bowl (or the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment) and mash with a potato masher or fork.
• Add the 1/2 cup butter, eggs, condensed milk, granulated sugar, vanilla and salt to the bowl. Combine well with a hand mixer or a stand mixer on medium speed. Add the mixture to the prepared baking dish and, using a spatula, smooth out the top.
• Prepare the topping: In a medium bowl, stir together the pecans, cornflakes (if using), brown sugar, flour and butter until thoroughly combined. Spoon the topping evenly over the sweet potatoes.
• Bake the casserole until slightly browned, about 35 minutes. Remove the casserole from the oven and add the marshmallows in an even layer. Return to the oven and bake until marshmallows are toasty and melted, about 5 minutes. Let sit for 5 minutes before serving.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C).
• Place the sweet potatoes on a baking sheet and poke each one a few times with a fork. Bake for 40-50 minutes, or until very soft. Remove from the oven and let cool until easy to handle. Reduce the oven temperature to 350°F (180°F).
• Meanwhile, cook the bacon in a medium skillet over medium heat until crispy. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain.
• Pour out all but 2 tablespoons of bacon grease from the skillet. Add the onion to the skillet and cook over medium heat for about 5 minutes, or until soft and translucent. Add the thyme and rosemary, and cook, stirring, until fragrant, about 1 minute. Remove the pan from the heat and let the onions cool slightly.
• Scoop the flesh of the sweet potatoes into a large bowl, discarding the skins. Add the cream, egg, salt, and pepper, and stir to combine. Add the onions and Gruyère cheese, and stir to incorporate.
• Transfer the sweet potato mixture to a 9-inch square glass baking dish.
• Make the topping: In the same skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the stuffing and stir until warmed through and slightly toasted, about 2 minutes.
• Sprinkle the crumbled stuffing evenly over the sweet potatoes. Crumble the bacon and evenly sprinkle on top.
• Cover the baking dish with foil and bake for 30 minutes, until heated through. If desired, remove the foil and broil on high until the topping is lightly browned, 1-2 minutes. Keep an eye on the casserole so it does not burn.
• Remove the casserole from the oven and garnish with fresh thyme. Let cool for about 10 minutes before serving.
• Enjoy!
