Mini Sweet Potato Casseroles Recipes

MINI SWEET POTATO CASSEROLE

Steps:

• Place sweet potatoes in a pot and fill with enough water to cover them.
• Bring water to a boil and cook until the potatoes have softened.
• Remove sweet potatoes from water and cut them into 1 1/2" slices and place them on a greased baking sheet.
• Slide the peel off of the sweet potato slices.
• Sit end pieces of the potatoes to the side.
• Use a spoon to take a scoop out of the center of each sweet potato slice, making sure not to go through the bottom.
• In a small bowl, mash the scooped out portions and the end pieces of the sweet potatoes, together with the brown sugar, orange juice, and cinnamon.
• Stuff the sweet potato mash back into the sweet potato slices.
• Make the topping by mixing the brown sugar, chopped pecans, butter, and cinnamon together.
• Pour topping over each sweet potato slice.
• Bake at 350°F for 30 minutes or until topping is bubbling.
• Remove from oven and serve.

THE BEST SWEET POTATO CASSEROLE

Steps:

• For the sweet potatoes: Add 1 3/4 pounds peeled and cubed sweet potatoes to a large pot of salted water. Bring to a boil over high heat, then lower the heat to a simmer and cook until the potatoes are very tender, 15 to 20 minutes. Drain and cool. Mash the sweet potatoes.
• For the filling: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Butter a 2-quart baking dish.
• Whisk together the butter, mashed sweet potatoes, milk, brown sugar, vanilla, salt and eggs in a large bowl. Transfer to the prepared baking dish.
• For the topping: Combine the flour, brown sugar, butter and salt in a medium bowl until moist and the mixture clumps together. Stir in the pecans. Spread the mixture over the top of the sweet potatoes in an even layer. Bake until mostly set in the center and golden on top, 25 to 30 minutes. Serve hot.

SMALL-BATCH SWEET POTATO CASSEROLE

Steps:

• Combine the sweet potatoes, half-and-half, butter, brown sugar, nutmeg if using and 1/2 teaspoon salt in a large saucepan over medium-low heat and cook, covered and stirring occasionally, until the sweet potatoes begin to break down, 15 to 20 minutes.
• Reduce the heat to low and continue to cook, covered, stirring occasionally and breaking up the pieces as you stir, until the sweet potatoes are completely tender and have almost entirely fallen apart, another 25 minutes.
• Meanwhile, position an oven rack in the upper-third of the oven and preheat to 450 degrees F.
• Add the cream cheese to the saucepan. Mix with a handheld mixer until the cream cheese is fully incorporated and the sweet potatoes are smooth.
• Use a spatula to transfer 1 cup of the sweet potato mixture to each of four 1-cup ramekins. Top each ramekin with a 1/3 cup of the mini marshmallows. Bake until the marshmallows are puffed and browned, about 5 minutes.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Place sweet potatoes in a large saucepan with enough water to cover. Bring to a boil, and cook until tender, about 15 minutes. Remove from heat, drain, and mash.
• Place mashed sweet potatoes in large bowl, and use an electric mixer to blend with the margarine, brown sugar, orange juice, and cinnamon. Spread evenly into a 9x13 inch baking dish. Top with miniature marshmallows.
• Bake for 25 to 30 minutes in the preheated oven, or until heated through, and marshmallows are puffed and golden brown.
