My variation on sweet potato casserole for the holidays. Ingredients:
2 lbs sweet potatoes or 2 lbs cut yams, canned |
1/4 cup brown sugar, packed |
1/4 cup pure maple syrup |
2 -3 tablespoons cognac or 2 -3 tablespoons brandy |
1/4 cup roughly chopped pecans |
miniature marshmallow, to put on top (optional) |
Directions:
1. Spray 2-quart casserole dish with non-stick cooking spray. Heat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
2. Mix brown sugar, maple syrup, and cognac in small saucepan. Heat over medium to medium-high heat until bubbly. Stir and cook for 1-2 minutes until thickened slightly.
3. Drain sweet potatoes and place in prepared 2-quart casserole dish.
4. Pour sauce from saucepan over sweet potatoes and mix gently to coat. Sprinkle with pecans. Sprinkle with marshmallows if desired.
5. Bake for 30-40 minutes or until sauce is thick and bubbly and marshmallows (if using) are lightly browned.
