Hello there, PinkWhen readers! It’s Justine from Cooking and Beer to share my monthly recipe with you guys! It’s that time of year again, and this time I am sharing a Skillet Sweet Potato Casserole made with a Bacon Brown Sugar Crumble.

It’s time to break out those roasting pans and every single baking dish that you own. It’s time for Thanksgiving recipe testing and prep…aka…my favorite time of the year.

This skillet sweet potato casserole with bacon, brown sugar crumble is so simple, so delicious, and so quick to make. It’s the perfect recipe to add to your Thanksgiving day menus!

Skillet Sweet Potato Casserole

Fall is definitely one of my favorite times of the year, and it’s mostly due to the fact that Thanksgiving lands in fall. It’s by far one of my favorite holidays.

With fresh roast turkey and creamy mashed potatoes, green bean casserole and freshly baked rolls, it’s a holiday all about family, food and giving thanks.

It’s a special time of the year where we can keep it simple in the kitchen and stick to the classics or amp it up and try something new.

I start recipe testing for Thanksgiving in September, and this isn’t just because I run a food blog where I have to recipe test early on in the season.

It’s really because I’m always looking for ways to put fun spins on my favorite classic Thanksgiving recipes.

I’m definitely all about the classics, but amping them up is one of my favorite parts about the holiday.

Skillet Sweet Potato Casserole with Bacon, Brown Sugar Crumble

This skillet sweet potato casserole with bacon, brown sugar crumble isn’t your everyday sweet potato casserole. There are no marshmallows on top (even though I adore marshmallows on my sweet potato casserole), and it’s baked in a cast iron skillet instead of a large baking dish.

Savory bacon tones down the sweetness and this skillet of deliciousness is ready in under an hour…something I find to be most necessary when I’m scrambling around the kitchen.

This dish is all about keeping it fun, yet simple, without spending days in the kitchen.

Ingredients

  • 3 sweet potatoes peeled and cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 1/2 + 1/3 cup melted butter divided
  • 1/3 cup heavy cream
  • 1/4 + 1/2 cup brown sugar divided
  • 1/4 teaspoon fine sea salt
  • 1/2 cup flour
  • 1 cup chopped pecans
  • 3 slices fully cooked crispy bacon chopped

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F and have a cast iron skillet or oven-safe baking dish ready.
  • Place the cubed sweet potatoes in a large pot and cover with water. Bring them to a boil over high heat and cook until tender, about 10-15 minutes. Remove from heat and drain. Transfer to a large bowl and mash.
  • To the bowl with mashed sweet potatoes, stir in 1/2 cup of the melted butter, heavy cream, 1/4 cup of the brown sugar, and the salt until fully incorporated. Pour the mixture into the cast iron skillet.
  • In a medium bowl, combine the 1/3 cup melted butter, 1/2 cup brown sugar, flour, pecans, and bacon. Fold the ingredients together until moist crumbles form. Sprinkle the mixture on top of the sweet potato mash.
  • Place the skillet in the oven and bake for 35 minutes or until golden brown. Remove from heat and let stand for 5 minutes before serving.
  • Enjoy!

    We are definitely fans of the sweet potato casserole with pecans on top (instead of marshmallows), and I’m loving how you added bacon! Can’t go wrong with adding bacon to an already delicious dish to make it even better. 🙂
