Best Bourbon Sweet Potato Casserole Recipes

SWEET POTATO CASSEROLE WITH BOURBON AND PINEAPPLE

Steps:

• 1. Heat oven to 350°. Place potatoes on a foil-lined baking sheet; bake until tender, about 1½ hours. Peel and transfer to a food processor along with brown sugar, bourbon, butter, 1 tsp. salt, cinnamon, ginger, allspice, nutmeg, pepper, eggs, and pineapple; puree. Transfer to a 9" x 13" baking dish; bake until heated through, about 25 minutes.
• 2. While casserole bakes, bring sugar, and ¼ cup water to a boil in a 1-qt. saucepan over high heat; attach a candy thermometer to the side of the pan, and cook, without stirring, until syrup reaches 250°. Meanwhile, place remaining salt, vanilla, and egg whites in a large bowl; beat on medium-high speed of a hand mixer until soft peaks form. While beating, slowly drizzle in hot syrup, and beat until meringue is thickened and cooled.
• 3. Heat broiler to high. Spread meringue over casserole; broil until lightly browned, about 2 minutes.
• 4. Personal NOTE: You can probably use canned chunk sweet potatoes to decrease prep time. Just add the ounces on each can until you get 5 1/2 lbs (88 ounces) or thereabouts (cans may weigh less or more than 16 ounces--it's okay to have slightly less or slightly more than the given amount). Since I am unsure if the can's measurement includes the liquid, you might want to get one extra can, just in case; so when you taste it before baking, if it seems like it needs more sweet potato flavor you can add some. Also, the instructions do not indicate whether the pineapple should be drained, so I would drain it first and reserve the liquid, then if the pineapple-sweet potato mixture seems like it's too dry you can add in the pineapple water.

BOURBON CANDIED SWEET POTATO CASSEROLE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Place the sweet potatoes on a foil lined baking sheet and roast until very soft to the touch, 45 minutes to 1 hour. Remove from the oven and let cool, about 20 minutes. When cool enough to handle, peel them by hand and put the flesh in the bowl. Using a mixer with a paddle attachment, mix in the lemon zest and juice, maple syrup and brown sugar. Place the bourbon in a small saucepan over high heat. Let it come just to the boil and then tilt the pan slightly towards you to set it aflame*. Add to the potatoes along with the butter. Mix well. Add salt and pepper and transfer to a 13 by 9-inch oven-safe casserole dish. (This recipe can be made to this point up to 2 days before, refrigerated.) Sprinkle topping over potatoes and bake for 20 minutes until the top is golden brown. If reheating, preheat oven to 350*F. Heat for 20 minutes. Sprinkle topping over potatoes and broil for 1 minute.
