SWEET POTATO CASSEROLE WITH PECAN STREUSEL

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350°F and set an oven rack in the middle position.
• Bring a large pot of water to a boil (no need to salt). Add the sweet potatoes and cook until soft and very tender, 20 to 25 minutes. Drain and let cool.
• Meanwhile, make the topping: Melt the butter in a medium bowl in the microwave. (Alternatively, melt it in a small pan over low heat and transfer to a medium bowl.) Add the brown sugar, flour, and cinnamon and mix until well combined. It should look a little clumpy. Stir in the chopped nuts and set aside.
• In a large bowl, mash the cooked and drained sweet potatoes with a potato masher or large fork until very smooth. Add the melted butter, salt, sugar, and nutmeg and mix well. Mix in the eggs. It's okay if there are some lumps. Set aside.
• Transfer the sweet potato mixture to a 2-quart baking dish and spread evenly. Sprinkle the topping evenly over the sweet potato mixture and bake, uncovered, for about 40 minutes, or until the topping is nicely browned. Let cool slightly before serving.
• Make-Ahead Instructions: You can assemble and refrigerate the casserole up to 2 days ahead of time.
• Freezer-Friendly Instructions: You can freeze the unbaked sweet potato portion of the recipe, tightly covered, for up to 3 months. Before baking, defrost in the refrigerator for 24 hours and then proceed with the recipe instructions.

SWEET POTATO CASSEROLE WITH A RIDICULOUS AMOUNT OF STREUSEL

Steps:

• Start by cooking your sweet potatoes. You can bake or boil. (Baking is easier; boiling is faster.)
• To bake: I like the baking method best, I think it's easiest! Preheat your oven to 400 degrees F. Poke each sweet potato firmly with a fork, two pokes on each side. Place on a pan lined with tin foil. Pop them in the oven and roast at 400 for 45-60 minutes until completely tender. You should be able to stick a butter knife all the way through with very little resistance. The thicker your sweet potatoes, the longer it will take.
• To boil: Peel the sweet potatoes and chop into 1 or 2 inch pieces. Add to a large pot filled with water. Bring to a boil over high heat, then turn down to a simmer. Let simmer for 25-30 minutes until fork tender. Drain very well using a colander.
• Make the sweet potato filling: In a large bowl, add sweet potatoes. You should have about 5 cups. Add 5 tablespoons butter, 1/2 cup milk, 3/4 cup packed brown sugar, 1 and 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt (add 1 and 1/4 teaspoon if using table salt), 1 teaspoon vanilla, 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice, and 2 large eggs.
• Mash it all together with a potato masher. If you like REALLY fluffy sweet potato casserole with zero lumps, use a hand mixer to beat it together for a couple minutes. (I prefer mine thoroughly mashed with a potato masher.)
• Spread the sweet potato mixture evenly into a 9x13 inch pan, smoothing out the top. (At this point you can refrigerate it ahead of time and bake up to two days later. See notes!)
• Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F.
• Make the streusel. In a medium bowl, add 1 and 1/2 cups flour (spooned and leveled), 1/2 cup packed brown sugar, 1/4 cup sugar, 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt, 1 tablespoon cinnamon, 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg, 1/4 teaspoon cardamom, and 1 cup chopped pecans. Whisk it all together.
• In a large bowl, melt 1/2 cup (1 stick) butter. Pour the dry streusel ingredients into the large bowl with the butter (then wipe out the medium bowl and stick it back in the cupboard.)
• Use a spatula to mix together the streusel. Make sure all the dry ingredients are moistened with butter.
• Use your fist to pick up handfuls of streusel. Squeeze it together and gently crumble it over the top of the sweet potatoes so that they stay in big chunks.
• Bake. Bake at 350 for 25-30 minutes, until the streusel looks dry and crumbly and slightly browned. Halfway through the bake time, at about the 15 or 20 minute mark, I like to sprinkle on an extra 1/3 cup chopped pecans. (If you add them in the beginning they will burn.) This is optional but I love the extra crunch and how pretty it is.
• Serve warm! See notes for how to make this ahead of time. You can make this earlier in the day on Thanksgiving. Bake it as directed, and then set it aside somewhere on the counter in your mess of a kitchen. (Don't refrigerate, or even bother covering) Then you can reheat it right before serving. About 15-20 minutes in a 350 degree oven will be enough to get it warmed through!
• Store leftovers covered in the fridge. It will keep for 3-5 days!

SWEET POTATO CASSEROLE WITH MARSHMALLOWS AND STREUSEL

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375°F. Grease a 2 or 2 1/2 quart casserole dish (preferably a rectangle or oval so there's a decent surface area for the topping; I use an 8x11) and set aside.
• Place the sweet potatoes in a large pot, cover with water, and boil until tender (about 7 minutes, depending on the size). Drain really well and return to the pot. Add butter, milk, cinnamon, brown sugar and salt to the potatoes and mash until smooth. Use a hand mixer, if desired, to make them extra smooth. Taste the potatoes and add additional seasonings, if desired.
• Transfer the mashed potatoes to the prepared casserole dish. Place in the oven until heated through (if they're already warm it will only take a few minutes). While the sweet potatoes are heating, prepare the topping.
• In a medium bowl, combine butter, brown sugar, flour, cinnamon and salt (I use a fork or rubber spatula to stir and mash the mixture), then mix in pecans.
• Remove the sweet potatoes from the oven. Top with half the marshmallows, then sprinkle half the streusel over the marshmallows (pinching pieces together with your fingers). Top with the other half of the marshmallows and sprinkle the remaining streusel over the top. Place back into the oven for 8-15 minutes, until the topping is bubbly and golden brown (keep an eye on it so the marshmallows don't burn). You can also place it under the broiler very briefly to add a little more color to the marshmallows. Note: the longer it is in the oven the more likely that the marshmallows will begin to melt. Allow to sit at room temperature for several minutes before serving.

SWEET POTATO CASSEROLE WITH GINGERSNAP STREUSEL

Steps:

• Coat a 9 by 13 inch baking dish with cooking spray.
• Place potatoes in a large pot, cover with water, and add a pinch of salt. Bring to a boil, reduce heat, and simmer until potatoes are very tender, about 15 minutes. Drain and set aside to cool.
• Meanwhile, make the topping. Put the gingersnaps, flour, sugar, and 1/4 tsp salt in a food processor; pulse once or twice to combine. Add the butter and pulse a few more times. (the cookies should still be in small chunks).
• Remove the skins from the potatoes. Make into a chunky puree using a blender, food processor, or by hand using a potato masher.
• In a large bowl, whisk together the maple syrup, half and half, vanilla, cinnamon, nutmeg, eggs, and remaining 1 tsp salt. Add the potato puree; mix thoroughly.
• Transfer to baking dish. Sprinkle the topping evenly over the dish. *At this point it may be covered in several layers of plastic wrap and frozen for up to three weeks. Thaw it in the refrigerator overnight, bring to room temperature, and continue.*.
• Preheat the oven to 350°F Bake for 45 minutes, or until the top is lightly browned.

VEGAN STREUSEL PECAN SWEET POTATO CASSEROLE

Steps:

• Clean the sweet potatoes and put into a large pan covered with water. Boil the sweet potatoes until fully cooked. You can tell if they are cooked with a fork. It should be soft to get the whole fork prongs through the potato.
• Drain the sweet potatoes completely. Let stand for the steam to come off the potatoes to completely cool. This will help you handle them and better to peal.
• Heat oven to 375°
• While the sweet potatoes are cooling make your streusel topping. For a thicker topping you can make double on the streusel topping and pecans. Just alternate the streusel topping and pecans when putting on the toppings.
• In a medium to small bowl add the vegan butter, brown sugar, flour, cinnamon and sea salt. Mix together with a fork until crumbly and then add the ½ cup of chopped pecans. Set aside.
• Peal your sweet potatoes. Put into a large mixing bowl. Add the vegan butter, plant based milk, brown sugar, cinnamon and sea salt. Mix together with a potato masher or hand held electric mixer. Both work very well.
• Oil your 9 x 13 inch baking dish with melted coconut oil or vegetable oil.
• When you are done mixing add the sweet potato mixture to the oiled 9 x 13 inch baking pan. Spread out even and put in preheated oven for 5 minutes to heat.
• After 5 minutes take the sweet potatoes out of the oven and top with the streusel topping. You may have to use your hands to break up the large pieces and spread out over the sweet potato mixture. When you are done spreading the streusel topping sprinkle over the top the extra 1 to 1½ cups of remaining chopped pecans and whole pecans.
• Put in the preheated oven for 8 to 10 minutes.
• Make your powdered sugar glaze. In a small bowl add 2 cup of powdered sugar, plant based milk and vanilla extract together and mix until all the sugar lumps are out.
• When the casserole is done let it cool for 10 minutes. Sprinkle the powdered sugar over the casserole with a sieve.
• You can add the glaze to the whole casserole or add it to individual servings. Enjoy!
