Tasty, transportable, and reheatable sweet potato and green bean dishes?

Francl27 · November 2015

We have to drive 1 hour for Thanksgiving, and we're in charge of bringing a few things, including the sweet potato and the green bean dishes.

So we need to find something that we can prepare ahead of time and reheat easily there (their oven will probably be taken by the turkey, unfortunately, so that's pretty much out).

Suggestions? Kinda wish they had put us on mashed potatoes duty instead, that would have been much easier (oh and yeah, we have mashed potatoes, so mashed sweet potatoes are pretty much out).

I always make sweet potato casserole, and it is easy to make ahead and transport in a covered pyrex dish.

This is pretty much the one I make, although my recipe is old, written in my mother's handwriting, and has butter stains on it.

If you make it in cast iron or even stoneware and pop it in a heat bag to protect the car seats, it should stay nice and hot, like it's fresh from the oven.

Though most of the stuff produced by Rachael Ray is crap, her carry bags are wonderful and last.

Can you do the dishes in crock pots?

Green beans in casserole style can be cooked then baked when you get there.

Or you can roast them when you get there. For sweet potatoes, I feel like any application would last!
