Directions
Cheesy Ham and Sweet Potato Casserole, Picked this up some years back at the state fair from the California Sweet Potato Council. This dish is very rich and filling and was the only way DS would eat sweet potatoes when he was young., Excellent recipe! I wasn’t sure how the flavors would work especially since basil isn’t what I would have used if I would have made this up, but it was good. I added garlic like someone else mentioned because garlic makes almost everything better, imo. I also added a little panko bread crumbs and smoked paprika, a little for flavor, but mostly for appearance. We loved it!, I made this recipe as written. The directions were easy to follow and the results was a delicious dish. Our grandkids had supper with us and wanted a copy of the recipe to take home to their mom so it is safe to assume it was a big hit with everyone. Thanks for sharing.
