Muffin Tin Monday- Thanksgiving with Sweet Potato Casserole and More

By

We had a Thanksgiving feast a little early at my house and loved it. We actually love Thanksgiving foods year round.
What did we have?
Sweet potato casserole, mixed steamed veggies, turkey divan with a crescent roll lid,  cornbread stuffing stuffed into a turkey cookie cutter, and red grapes with cranberries.
Here is the recipe for the sweet potatoes:

We love sweet potatoes for dinner. When my friend Kathleen posted her version of Boston Market’s Sweet Potatoes, I knew we would be trying it.
My guys loved it. Both wanted seconds.

List of Ingredients

 
6 cups of mashed sweet potatoes
3/4 cups of dark brown sugar
1/2 cup of plain yogurt
1/4 melted butter
1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon of pumpin pie spice
1/4 teaspoon of ground cloves
1/4 teaspoon of allspice
Topping Ingredients:
2 cups of minimarshmallows
1/4 cup rolled oats
1 tablespoon all purpose flour
1 tablespoon brown sugar
1/8 teaspoon of ground cinnamon

2 tablespoon cold butter

Instructions:

  1. Rub a little olive  oil on the skin of each sweet potato and bake them in a preheated 400 degree oven for 60 to 70 minutes or until they are tender. When the potatoes are cool enough to handle, scrape out the insides and use an electric mixer on high speed to beat the potatoes until they are mashed.
  2. Add 3/4 cup brown sugar, heavy cream, melted butter, 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon, pumpkin pie spice, allspice and cloves into the sweet potatoes and mix well with the beater until all the ingredients are incorporated. Pour this mixture into an 8×8-inch baking dish.
  3. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  4. Make the oatmeal streusel by grinding the rolled oats to a fine flour using a food processor. Using a blender will also work.
  5. Combine the oat flour with 2 tablespoons brown sugar, all-purpose flour, and 1/8 teaspoon cinnamon in a small bowl. Cut the cold butter or butter replacement into the dry mixture using a pastry knife or a fork. You should have a crumbly mixture with pea-size bits. Sprinkle this oatmeal streusel over the sweet potato mixture and pop it into the oven for 70 to 80 minutes or until the top begins to brown slightly.
  6. When you remove the casserole from the oven immediately spread the marshmallows over the top. Let this sit for about 10 minutes. The heat from the casserole will melt the marshmallows, and then it’s ready to serve.

  1. We even have “Thanksgiving” meals in the summer:) By the way… I know you mentioned being slightly “addicted” to MTM supplies. I wanted to let you know that Target has silicone Christmas “tins” in their Dollar Section (for $2.50)

  2. What a great idea to use the cookie cutter to serve the food in! Cute! Sounds great.

    My Thanksgiving must-haves are the broccoli cheese rice casserole, the green beans, and the mashed potatoes. I love all the sides – i don’t care about the turkey!

  4. Oooh, I might have to try those sweet potatoes! I have a recipe that I love so I might have to try them both ways.

  5. As long as I have turkey and cranberries, the rest doesn’t matter! Your little feast looks yummy!

  7. Sweet potatoes is one food you don’t see many of us NW families eat. Not sure why. My grandma use to make it for Thanksgiving only and I dated a guy whose family made sweet potato pie. Other than sweet potato fries, you don’t see it in restaurants etc. Happy Monday to you girl! 🙂

  21. I love the pumpkin cups! And I think JDaniel is pretty lucky to have his own special, early Turkey day!

  25. Joshua has been talking about sweet potato casserole for weeks now. I wonder if I will need to make an extra batch for him. This recipe sounds amazing, maybe I should serve this to him.
