Sunburst Yam Bake Recipes

HOLIDAY YAM BAKE

Steps:

• Peel the yams, cut them up in large pieces for boiling.
• Boil the yams in a large pot for 30 minutes or until tender.
• Drain and mash with mixer.
• Add in eggs, butter, milk, sugar, vanilla. Beat until creamy.
• Pour into 9x13 baking dish.
• Bake 20 minutes at 400 degrees f.
• While the top is baking, crush 12 Lorna Doone cookies. You want bits and pieces, not dust.
• Melt 1/2 cup butter.
• Combine crushed cookies, brown sugar, pecans and melted butter. I suggest not using a mixer. The idea is to get the ingredients mixed, but not processed into mud. Just get the stuff mixed up.
• Remove the casserole from oven at the end of the first baking time.
• Distribute the topping carefully over the top of the casserole. There will likely not be sufficient topping to cover it all. No problem. Get out some mini marshmallows and cover the top to suit your liking. I ended using two cups worth.
• Return the casserole to the oven for a maximum of 5 minutes. I recommend keeping a wary eye on it to remove it should the marshmallows start burning. Some folks like marshmallows toasted dark, so of course, you will want to let this go according to your preferences.
• When done, we covered the casserole with foil and drove across town to have Thanksgiving dinner with family. The casserole remained very hot the entire time, and was just perfect to serve up thereafter.

BEST CANDIED YAMS WITH MARSHMALLOWS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Spray 2 pieces of aluminum foil with cooking spray.
• Mash drained yams in a large bowl with a fork. Add ingredients in the following order, mixing well after each addition: brown sugar, cinnamon, cloves, allspice, and heavy cream. Pour mixture into two 8-inch square baking dishes. Sprinkle 1/2 of the marshmallows over each dish and cover with aluminum foil, spray-side down.
• Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes. Remove foil and bake for an additional 5 minutes.

BERRY MALLOW YAM BAKE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Toss yams and cranberries together in a bowl. Mix flour, brown sugar, oatmeal, margarine, and cinnamon together in a separate bowl. Add about half the oat mixture to the yam mixture; toss to combine and spread into a 1 1/2-quart casserole dish. Sprinkle remaining oat mixture over the casserole.
• Bake in preheated oven until lightly browned, about 35 minutes.

YAMS WITH BROWN SUGAR AND WALNUTS

Steps:

• Mix the first 5 ingredients together and pour into a glass baking dish.

• Mix together the topping (it will seem dry) and crumble on top of the yams.
• Bake at 450 degrees for 1/2 hour to 45 minutes.
