  • Bacon-Pecan Sweet Potatoes

    Here is a recipe I get lots of requests for. It's a favorite wherever I take it. Enjoy!

    BACON-PECAN SWEET POTATOES
    3-5 fresh sweet potatoes
    1/2 cup brown sugar
    1 tsp. cinnamon
    3/4 stick butter (softened)
    12 oz. package of precooked bacon
    1/2 cup pecan pieces

    Peel and cube sweet potatoes, boil until tender. Mash with 1/4 cup butter, 1/4 cup brown sugar, and 1 tsp. cinnamon. (If you used canned sweet potatoes, cut back on the sugar.) Place mashed sweet potatoes into small greased baking pan (8x8 or similar). Blend 1/4 cup brown sugar with 2 Tbsp. softened butter. Mix pecans and bacon pieces into sugar mixture and sprinkle over top of sweet potatoes. Place under broiler for 5-10 minutes.
