Sweet Potato Casserole with Sweet Maple Walnuts

This recipe got a twist when I saw Sweet Maple Walnuts a Dollar General. I made it for our family Thanksgiving, and it was a huge hit! By the way, the nuts are not burnt. They are dark from the maple glaze.

2 ~ 15oz cans sweet potatoes, or yams*

¼ cup butter

¼ cup brown sugar

1/2 teaspoon cinnamon

½ teaspoon salt

1 pinch black pepper, or more to taste

Mini Marshmallows

Sweet Maple Walnuts**

Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Place potatoes in a large bowl, and add butter, brown sugar, salt, and black pepper. Mix, using a stand mixer or hand mixer, until smooth and creamy. Place in an 8x8 casserole dish. Bake in the oven until warmed through, about 15-20 minutes. Top with marshmallows and then walnuts. Bake until marshmallows are toasted, about 5-10 minutes. Watch so they don't burn. 

*I also used 2 - 40oz for this 13x9 pan.

**I used Diamond brand candied walnuts.

Ham and Cheese Biscuit Bombs

 

1 can refrigerated biscuits, flaky style

8 ounces cream cheese, softened

1 cup ham, chopped

¼ cup parmesan cheese grated

¼ cup cheddar cheese grated

1 teaspoon garlic powder

4 tablespoons butter

1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce

1/2 teaspoon Garlic Powder

In a medium sized mixing bowl, mix together cream cheese, ham, green onions, garlic powder, and parmesan cheese, mix well. 

Open biscuit dough and separate out each biscuit. Pull biscuits in half. 

Take a spoonful of the cream cheese mixture and place it in the center of one half of the biscuit dough. Top with the other half. Pinch the edges to seal. 

Place on a greased baking sheet and repeat until all the biscuit dough is filled. Sprinkled grated cheddar cheese on each biscuit before placing in the oven. In a saucepan, mix butter, Worcestershire sauce, and garlic powder. Brush the melted mixture over the biscuits. Bake at 350°F for 12-14 minutes or until golden brown.
