    Family favorite recipe. Bit high in calories, but it's a full meal:

    Best enjoyed in autumn, but I've cooked it year long. FWIW, when it says "stir occasionally" I only touch it once or twice to allow the sweet potato to cook correctly.

    I just zap mine in the microwave until soft, peel, mash, add salt and eat. Fast, tasty and very filling.

    I just roast them in the oven like I would potatoes, sometimes with fennel seeds on them. Yum.

    Ingredients:
    Mrs. Grimes Black Beans No-Salt Added
    Green Giant Frozen Chopped Spinach
    Kraft 5 Cheese Italian Blend
    any spices desired (I used a little Mrs. Dash Garlic & Herb in this round)

    love them plain, roasted with a bit of olive oil.
    cut into half moon slices, toss with EVOO, and bake em' at 400 for about 20 minutes. flip em' around a few times while cooking.

    SWEET POTATO BURRITOS!

    Take 3 large sweet potatoes. Rinse & scrub them (don't dry) in water and throw them in the croc-pot. Cook on high for 4 hours.

    Remove skin (if you want) and mash with fork and use it for sweet potato burritos! SO GOOD! Add some lettuce, black beans, plain greek yogurt, salsa, and your favorite sauteed veggies! DELICIOUS!

    We make these often and always change up what we add to them. Sauteed peppers and corn in them are yumm-o! We also throw some rice in the rice cooker and grab some tortilla chips and we're good to go!:wink:

    I just made these,they are so easy, and everyone liked them. They were great for lunch in a WW pita.
    Sweet potato burger

    2 baked sweet potatoes
    1 can rinsed cannellini (white) beans
    1 egg
    salt / pepper/garlic/onions etc. to taste
    bread crumbs

    take the skin off the potatoes and mash. Mash the beans and mix them in. Add the egg and spices.Form a patty and coat with bread crumbs. Spray a pan with cooking oil- I guess you could bake them too, haven't tried that yet.

    I roast them with brussels sprouts, a little kosher salt, pepper, garlic; add in a little macadamia nut oil and you're good to go. Yum!

    I cut up some last night like fries, put them in a baggy with some olive oil and salt. Shook, then poured a cookie sheet and baked for about 20 minutes at 425. They were super yummy.
