Sweet Potato Casserole With Bacon Crumble Recipes

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.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
• For the sweet potatoes: Line a baking sheet with foil. Line an 8-inch square baking dish with foil.
• Prick the sweet potatoes all over, put them on the prepared baking sheet and roast until soft, 1 hour to 1 hour 15 minutes. Let cool slightly.
• Put the butter and rosemary in a small saucepan over medium heat and cook until the butter starts to brown. Remove from the heat and discard the rosemary. Scoop the sweet potato flesh out of the skins and into a food processor. Add the butter, heavy cream, sugar, cinnamon, egg, 1 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper and process until smooth.
• Spread the sweet potato mixture in the prepared 8-inch baking dish.
• For the crumble: Put the bacon in a medium skillet over medium heat and cook until crisp, about 4 minutes. Transfer to a paper-towel-lined plate with a slotted spoon, reserving the fat. Whisk together the flour, pecans, sugar and a pinch of salt in a medium bowl. Using your fingers, rub the butter and 2 tablespoons bacon fat into the flour mixture until coarse crumbs form. Add the bacon and toss to combine. Sprinkle the crumble over the sweet potato mixture.
• Bake until lightly browned and hot throughout, about 30 minutes.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).
• Combine sweet potatoes and oil in a bowl and toss to coat. Lay on a shallow baking sheet.
• Roast until slightly charred, about 45 minutes, turning regularly to prevent burning on the bottom.
• While potatoes are roasting, combine 1/3 cup brown sugar and flour in a medium-sized bowl. Add 3 tablespoons butter and cut into the dry ingredients. Stir in pecans until evenly mixed. Set crumble mixture aside.
• Combine 1/3 cup brown sugar, remaining 7 tablespoons butter, eggs, evaporated milk, vanilla extract, cinnamon, salt, cloves, and nutmeg in a large mixing bowl. Set aside until potatoes are done roasting.
• Remove potatoes from oven and reduce heat to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Transfer sweet potatoes to the brown sugar mixture in the large mixing bowl. Toss until well combined.
• Spoon sweet potato mixture into a 1 1/2-quart casserole dish. Top with crumble mixture, distributing evenly to form a crust.
• Bake in the hot oven until lightly browned on top, 30 to 40 minutes. Let rest for 10 minutes before serving.
