Cowboy Casserole – it’s a sweet and mildly spicy sweet potato casserole with bacon, cheese, and jalapenos.
I served this side dish for Thanksgiving as an alternative to the normal sweet potato casserole laden with brown sugar, butter and melted marshmallow topping. We have some diabetics in our family so this is a great way for them to enjoy sweet potatoes. It has the natural sweetness from the sweet potatoes with very little brown sugar added and it’s mildly spicy from the homemade candied jalapenos. If you don’t have candied jalapenos, pickled or fresh jalapenos are a good substitute.
It’s quick and easy to put together after all of the ingredients have been prepped so this makes it a winner in my book. It’s not fussy and it looks and tastes great!
