Sweet potato casserole recipe?
Hey Michele,
I've not tried it yet - but sounds good with a little tweaking using splenda - etc....
Sweet Potato Crisp Recipe
1 pkg. (8 oz.) PHILADELPHIA Cream Cheese, softened
1 can (40 oz.) cut sweet potatoes, drained
3/4 cup firmly packed brown sugar, divided (splenda version)
1/4 tsp. ground cinnamon
1 cup chopped apples
2/3 cup chopped cranberries
1/2 cup flour
1/2 cup old-fashioned or quick-cooking oats, uncooked
1/3 cup cold butter or margarine
1/4 cup chopped PLANTERS Pecans
PREHEAT oven to 350°F. Beat cream cheese, sweet potatoes, 1/4 cup of the sugar and cinnamon with electric mixer on medium speed until well blended. Spoon into 1-1/2-quart casserole dish; top with apples and cranberries.
MIX flour, oats and remaining 1/2 cup sugar in medium bowl; cut in butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Stir in pecans. Sprinkle over fruit mixture.
BAKE 35 to 40 minutes or until heated through.
KRAFT KITCHENS TIPS
Great Substitute Prepare as directed, using PHILADELPHIA Neufchatel Cheese, 1/3 Less Fat than Cream Cheese.
I just love this time of year.

Not so much a casserole, but cubed sweet potatoes and turnips and beets, marinated for a while in orange juice (or even orange Crystal Light) and a little olive oil, then oven roasted...mmm. The roasting brings out the natural sugar in the root veggies and they taste fantastic. If you can tolerate nuts, tossthem with a few roasted pine nuts 4-5 minutes before serving these.

hi michele, this was posted by Jamie M AKA Lady Autumn in sept to the cooking & baking board:
Harvest Pecan Casserole
4 medium sweet poatos, peeled, cooked (about 1 3/4 pounds)
1/2 - 1 can of pumpkin puree
1/2 to 1 C. Fat Free Sour Cream
1 tsp. Vanilla
5 1/2 tsp. Splenda
1 tsp ground cinnamon
1/2 tsp. ground nutmeg
1/2 tsp. ground AllSpice
1/4 cup coarsly chopped pecans
Directions: Mash sweet potatoes with tater masher or beat with electric mixer until smooth (I used a food processor), mix in remaining ingrediants except pecans. Spoon mixture into an ungreased 1 qt casserole or souffle dish; sprinkle with pecans. Bake uncovered at 350 degrees until hot throughout, about 30 min.
Suggested Alteration: You can add flavorless protein powder after baking to this to boost the protein, just add a touch of vanilla and a packet of splenda for every scoop of protein powder that you add!
