SAVORY SWEET POTATO CASSEROLE RECIPE BY TASTY

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C).
• Place the sweet potatoes on a baking sheet and poke each one a few times with a fork. Bake for 40-50 minutes, or until very soft. Remove from the oven and let cool until easy to handle. Reduce the oven temperature to 350°F (180°F).
• Meanwhile, cook the bacon in a medium skillet over medium heat until crispy. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain.
• Pour out all but 2 tablespoons of bacon grease from the skillet. Add the onion to the skillet and cook over medium heat for about 5 minutes, or until soft and translucent. Add the thyme and rosemary, and cook, stirring, until fragrant, about 1 minute. Remove the pan from the heat and let the onions cool slightly.
• Scoop the flesh of the sweet potatoes into a large bowl, discarding the skins. Add the cream, egg, salt, and pepper, and stir to combine. Add the onions and Gruyère cheese, and stir to incorporate.
• Transfer the sweet potato mixture to a 9-inch square glass baking dish.
• Make the topping: In the same skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the stuffing and stir until warmed through and slightly toasted, about 2 minutes.
• Sprinkle the crumbled stuffing evenly over the sweet potatoes. Crumble the bacon and evenly sprinkle on top.
• Cover the baking dish with foil and bake for 30 minutes, until heated through. If desired, remove the foil and broil on high until the topping is lightly browned, 1-2 minutes. Keep an eye on the casserole so it does not burn.
• Remove the casserole from the oven and garnish with fresh thyme. Let cool for about 10 minutes before serving.
• Enjoy!
