Whiskey Sweet Potato Casserole
Ingredients
  • 3 quarts water
  • 2 1/2 cups diced sweet potato
  • 3/4 cup brown sugar
  • 1/3 cup Tennessee whiskey
  • 1/4 cup butter, softened
  • 2 1/4 teaspoons ground cinnamon
  • 2 1/4 teaspoons ground nutmeg
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 cup butter
  • 3/4 cup brown sugar
  • 1 1/2 cups chopped pecans
Instructions
1
Preheat your oven to a moderate temperature of 325 degrees Fahrenheit (or 165 degrees Celsius, if you prefer metric measurements).
2
Next, fill a large pot with water and bring it to a rolling boil. Submerge sweet potatoes in the boiling water until they become tender, approximately 7 minutes; drain the excess water. Transfer the cooked sweet potatoes to a spacious mixing bowl and use a potato masher to break them down into a smooth consistency.
3
Add 3/4 cup of brown sugar, a splash of Tennessee whiskey, 1/4 cup of softened butter, a pinch of cinnamon, and a few grinds of nutmeg to the potatoes; mix everything together until it's well combined.
4
Spread this mixture evenly into a 1-quart casserole dish.
5
Melt 1/4 cup of butter in a small skillet over low heat. Gradually add 3/4 cup of brown sugar to the melted butter, stirring constantly until it's fully incorporated. Add a handful of pecans to the skillet; cook and stir them constantly until they're completely coated in the butter mixture, approximately 2 to 3 minutes.
6
Top your sweet potato mixture with the pecans.
7
Bake this delightful dish in your preheated oven until it's nicely browned around the edges, approximately 25 minutes.
