This is a refreshingly new casserole dish for Thanksgiving because of its really unique twist of sweet potatoes for a change. With its steamy sweet potatoes which gave the meal a bit of a sugary tinge; its creamy nutritious milk which created a refined blend to the flavors; its grounded cinnamon and nutmeg for spices which heightens its extremely delicious taste; and its meaty chunks of bacon which gave the meal a filling satisfaction right from the first spoonful to your last. Now, here’s how to make this sweet potato casserole with a twist of bacon for your festive Thanksgiving with your family.
Ingredients
  • 4 large sweet potatoes, quartered
  • 4 slices bacon
  • 3 tablespoons butter (45 g)
  • ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon (1 g)
  • ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg (0.8 g)
  • ½ cup light cream (120 ml)
  • ¼ cup milk (60 ml)
  • salt and ground black pepper for seasoning
Instructions
  1. Preheat an oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Grease a 2-quart baking dish and set aside.
  2. Put the sweet potatoes into a large saucepan and pour in with salted water until covered. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until tender, about 20 minutes. Drain and allow to steam dry until cool enough to handle.
  3. Meanwhile, place the bacon in a large, deep skillet, and cook over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until evenly browned and crisp, about 10 minutes. Drain the bacon slices on a paper towel-lined plate. Chop the bacon coarsely; set aside.
  4. Slip the skins off the potatoes and discard; blend the potatoes in an electric blender or food processor until smooth. Stir in the butter, cinnamon, nutmeg, cream, and milk. Mix well; season to taste with salt and pepper. Spread the potato mixture in the prepared baking dish.
  5. Bake in the preheated oven until heated through, about 18 minutes. Remove from the oven; sprinkle the potatoes with the bacon. Return to the oven and bake for an additional 5 minutes.
  6. Serve warm and enjoy this Thanksgiving dish!
