What is a Sweet Potato Casserole?

Sweet Potato Casserole is a traditional American Thanksgiving dish of mashed sweet potatoes, brown sugar, milk, and eggs. It is often served during the American holiday season, especially at Thanksgiving and Christmas in place of pumpkin pie or side dish. 

 

How do I make this Sweet Potato Casserole?

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spray a 9×13 baking dish with non stick cooking spray. Set aside. 

Peel and cut sweet potatoes into eights and place in a large pot. Add enough water to just cover the potatoes.

Cook on low to medium heat for 15 to 20 minutes, until they are soft and tender. Drain water.

Place cooked sweet potatoes in a large mixing bowl.

Mash potatoes with a potato masher or hand mixer until well mashed.

Let the sweet potatoes cool for 5 minutes. 

Meanwhile make the topping: In a in a medium mixing bowl, combine brown sugar substitute, flour, nuts. 

Pour light melted butter into mixture and stir until mixture is moistened. 

Then add brown sugar substitute, 3 Tbsp melted light butter, unsweetened almond milk or skim milk, eggs,

vanilla, and 1/2 tsp salt into mashed sweet potatoes. 

Stir until well combined. 

Pour sweet potato mixture into prepared baking dish. 

Sprinkle the topping evenly over the top of the sweet potato mixture. 

Bake for 35-40 minutes.

Notes:

 

• If you are following the WW GREEN plan you will may want to use 1/2 cup liquid eggs in place of the 3 whole eggs to keep the point value to 6 SmartPoints otherwise the point value is 7 SmartPoints per serving.
• The overall point value per serving is the same regardless if you use skim or unsweetened almond milk.
• This sweet potato casserole can be made a day. However, you’ll want to wait to add the topping until ready to bake. When ready to bake-let the casserole sit at room temperature 30 minutes, then add the topping and bake, as directed. 
• In order to calculate the smart points on a recipe you have to enter the ingredients in manually (by creating a recipe in the recipe builder) not by the nutritional information. Since this recipe contains zero point items the app doesn’t realize there are zero point items in the recipe and will calculate it based only off the nutritional info which is not accurate.
