Bourbon Sweet Potato Casserole
Description
The casserole features baked and peeled sweet potatoes mashed and mixed with maple syrup, bourbon, beaten egg, salt, and cinnamon to create a rich and creamy filling. The bourbon adds a depth of flavor without overwhelming the natural sweetness of the sweet potatoes. The streusel topping made with flour, oats, brown sugar, pecans, and chilled butter creates a textured layer that crisps during baking, introducing a pleasing contrast to the soft filling beneath.
Baked at 375°F until the streusel is golden brown, the casserole served warm enhances seasonal menus, pairing well with savory dishes like roasted meats or as a comforting side on special occasions.
Note that preparation time does not include baking and cooling the sweet potatoes beforehand, which should be done carefully to ensure proper texture in the dish.
