Today’s Recipe
On the first day of our 12 Days of Christmas Giveaway, my true love gave to me…this Streusel-Topped Sweet Potato Casserole from WMF Americas.
Streusel-Topped Sweet Potato Casserole
Serves 8 – 10
NOTES: If your casserole dish is too large for your microwave, potatoes may be cooked in another dish and transferred to the bake dish in the overlapping pattern. Or the potatoes may be cooked in a pot of boiling water for 5-6 minutes, drained completely and then arranged in the dish.
Ingredients:
- 3 ½ – 4 pounds sweet potatoes
- 1/3 cup brown sugar
- ¼ cup chilled butter
- ¼ cup flour
- ½ cup coarsely chopped pecans
- 2 cups whipping cream
Instructions:
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Spray a 9 x 13 casserole dish with cooking spray.
- Peel and cut potatoes into ¼” slices. Arrange the slices in an overlapping pattern in the dish. Add ½ cup water and cover the dish with plastic wrap. Microwave on full power for 4 – 8 minutes until potatoes are still firm and hold their shape but are about half-cooked.
- Meanwhile, combine brown sugar, butter and flour using a fork or pastry blender to form a crumbly topping. Stir in the pecans.
- When potatoes are out of the microwave, carefully tip the dish and pour out any water in the bottom. Rearrange the rows as necessary. Pour the cream over the potatoes and sprinkle with the streusel topping – it will be somewhat sparse and not cover the potatoes completely.
- Bake uncovered for 50-60 minutes – the potatoes should be soft and the cream will have formed a caramel-like sauce. Serve while hot.

Since I am diabetic, sweet potatoes have been my baked potatoes for quite awhile; very enjoyable with a sprinkle of cinnamon and butter (no sugar). However, went to a party in which baked potatoes were offered with all kinds of toppings including taco meat and cheese. Baked sweet potatoes were offered also; all I can say is Wow!, the taco meat and other taco toppings mixed well with the sweet potatoes. I will use this idea often as sweet potatoes offer a great deal of fiber plus great taste.

We MUST have sweet potatoes for all special dinners…..
In a large baking dish, 3-4 large cans of sweet potatoes drained, sprinkle on brown sugar and melted butter as needed and bake for 350 for up to 40 minutes. Then add tons of marshmallows and pieces of pecans and return to oven and brown till the marshmallows start to melt and turn brown.
