Bourbon Sweet Potato Casserole
15 mins prepServes 8
Knock the socks off your guests with this slightly sweet Bourbon Sweet Potato Casserole, covered with a crunchy streusel topping. The bourbon sings, the sweet potatoes are light and creamy, and the streusel topping adds texture to this take on a Thanksgiving classic.
0 Preheat the oven to 375°F. Spray a baking dish with nonstick cooking spray, and set aside.
1 In the bowl with the cooked sweet potatoes, add the maple syrup, bourbon, egg, salt and cinnamon (if you're using cinnamon!)
2 Blend the ingredients together using a hand mixer, mixing until smooth.
3 Pour and spread the sweet potato casserole into the prepared baking dish, and set aside.
4 In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the flour, oats, brown sugar and pecans, mixing with a fork until combined.
5 Cut the chilled butter into the streusel topping using a pastry cutter (or a fork if you're old school), cutting the ingredients until they resemble wet sand.
6 Sprinkle the streusel topping onto the sweet potato filling.
7 Transfer the casserole into the preheated oven, and bake for 40 minutes, or until the streusel topping is browned and crispy.
8 Remove from the oven, and serve warm.
