We love how simple and delicious the Layered Sweet Potato Casserole recipe is!
By: Kelly From Mostly Homemade Mom
No Thanksgiving feast is complete without sweet potatoes, and this casserole is the easiest way to prepare them. Just throw everything together and bake! The butter and brown sugar create a caramel-type sauce that coats the sweet potatoes, making them deliciously sweet. This tastes more like dessert than a side dish, and that’s a good thing!
Ingredients
5-6 sweet potatoes
½ cup Country Crock butter (1 stick)
¾ cup brown sugar
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
- Place sweet potatoes in stock pot and fill with enough water to cover. Heat to boiling and cook for about 15 minutes (test with a fork). You want them to be done, but not mushy. Drain the sweet potatoes and allow to cool.
- Peel sweet potatoes being careful to leave as much flesh as possible. Slice in ½-inch slices and cover the bottom of a 2-quart baking dish with one layer of sweet potatoes.
- Cut the butter stick in ½-tablespoon slices and place 5-6 pats over the sweet potatoes. Sprinkle 1/4 cup brown sugar over the butter. Repeat layers twice more, ending with brown sugar on the very top (there should be three layers total).
- Bake for 40 minutes. Allow casserole to cool about 10 minutes before serving.
