Ingredients
Sweet Potato Base
- 4 Large Sweet Potatoes peeled and cubed
- ⅓ cup Unsalted Butter
- ½ tsp Salt
Pecan Bacon Topping
- 1 cup Pecans or Walnuts chopped
- ⅓ cup Brown Sugar
- 1 tsp Ground Cinnamon
- ½ tsp Ground Ginger
- ¼ tsp Ground Nutmeg
- 6 oz Bacon chopped
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375F.
- Peel and cut the sweet potatoes into cubes.
- Place them into a 9x13 inch baking dish, topped with cubed butter and salt. Roast it in the oven for about 20-25 minutes or until the sweet potatoes begin to soften but are not fully cooked.
- In the meantime, prepare the bacon topping. Cook bacon just until golden in a skillet over medium heat.
- Then, mix cooked bacon with chopped pecans, brown sugar and spices.
- Sprinkle the bacon mixture over the sweet potatoes and bake for another 20 minutes.
Notes
- If you prefer, substitute pecans or walnuts with almonds or hazelnuts for a different texture and flavor.
- This casserole is best enjoyed warm straight from the oven.
- For a sweeter twist, add mini marshmallows to the topping in the last 5 minutes of baking.
- Prepare the sweet potato base and topping separately, then assemble and bake right before serving.
