Ingredients

1-1/2 lb. sweet potatoes (about 3), peeled, cut into 1/4-inch-thick slices
4 slices OSCAR MAYER Bacon, chopped
1 small sweet onion, thinly sliced
2 Tbsp. flour
2 Tbsp. brown sugar
1 cup fat-free reduced-sodium chicken broth
1-1/2 cups KRAFT Shredded Monterey Jack Cheese, divided

Steps:

Heat oven to 350ºF.
Cook potatoes in boiling water on medium-low heat 8 to 10 min. or just until tender.
Meanwhile, cook and stir bacon in medium skillet until crisp, stirring occasionally. Remove bacon from skillet with slotted spoon, reserving 1 Tbsp. drippings in skillet. Drain bacon on paper towels. Add onions to reserved drippings; cook and stir 5 min. or until crisp-tender. Stir in flour; cook and stir 1 min. Add sugar; mix well. Gradually stir in broth; cook and stir 2 to 3 min. or until thickened. Remove from heat. Stir in 1 cup cheese.
Drain potatoes. Place half in 8- or 9-inch square baking dish; cover with half the sauce. Repeat layers; top with bacon and remaining cheese.
Bake 25 to 30 min. or until potato mixture is heated through and cheese is melted.
