Boston Market Sweet Potato Casserole

This is the Boston Market recipe. I usually add more marshmallows, but I use a different sized dish than Boston Market usually uses to make them. Having had worked there for a year, I can verify that these are the exact same thing as the Boston Market ones! My husband LOVES them.

This looks so good…Iv got to make it…theres some awesome recipes on here..

How many does this make for?

This makes 6 to 8 servings.

is it OK to use Yams instead of Sweet Potatoes? I am confused by the difference.

I found out Yams = Sweet Potatoes! I made this for thanksgiving for my (then) fiance’s family and mine for the 1st time and it was a hit with EVERYONE!
I definitely recommend it to everyone. Enjoy

y’all are just ripping off one another’s basic online recipe. Probably pretty close, but not on target reason: what are those little crunchy cookie things? Not oatmeal, not precans – they actually crumble oatmeal cookies baked in a slab, that are broken into correct sizes by dropping them in the box onto a flor from a height of about 5 feet – breaks them into the perfect size. This goes onto the basic mix that tops the casserole. It’s all preproduced in our factory, then sent to the distributors for the final point sale. Can’t leave my real name, so take my e-mail, instead.
Not so sure what you mean about ripping off one another’s basic online recipe, but hey, that’s fine. Interesting point about how they may do the crumb topping. We are all often disgrunted about former employers.

Hello. This will be my first Thanksgiving bringing something for the rest of the family to eat, and I volunteered to make this. I would like to know what’s the best pan size to use. Also, if I want to use canned yams, how many cans would I use? I read a similar recipe of someone who used 3 cans and she said it turned out the same. Thanks

You would have to measure them. I think 2 cans might be too little, and 3 cans might be too much. They are often on sale this time of the year, so no worries there.

Can you be more specific with how to make the Oatmeal Streusel?
Combine the oat flour with 4 tablespoons brown sugar, all-purpose flour, and 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon in a small bowl. Cut the cold butter into the dry mixture using a pastry knife or a fork. You should have a crumbly mixture with pea-size bits. Sprinkle this oatmeal streusel over the sweet potato mixture and pop it into the oven for 70 to 80 minutes or until the top begins to brown slightly.

This recipe rocks. It tastes exactly like the Boston Market casserole. Thank you Kitty.

I am glad you enjoyed this recipe!

I work there now and that is SOO not how we do things.

It’s close but not the same. Ours are sourced at Boston Market and the topping is streusel and marshmallows. We cook the Sweet Potato’s first without the topping either in a water bath or in the oven for about 20 minutes, then sprinkle on marshmallows first, then the streusel. We then put it into a 350 degree oven for exactly 7 minutes…

I think your sweet potatoes must come in partially cooked or fully cooked. I have never been able to cook whole sweet potatoes in 20 minutes. Or maybe you are just reheating pre cooked ones.

How do you grind rolled oats in a blender if you don’t have a food processor? Doesn’t seem like putting dry oats by themselves in a blender is a good idea…

I would go ahead and do it with a blender, I think it would be fine

dry oats in the blender is fine,I do it to make the oatmeal bath for my daughters eczema only because the aveeno has gotten so expensive.Try it it works.

I was too lazy to blend up the streusel, and it was still amazing!

If I double the recipe what size pan should I use?

I would use a 9 x 13 inch pan.

I would use a 9 x 13 inch pan.

I used about 16 sweet potatoes – which made 6 cups of mashed sweet potatoes. Yea, I was trying to double the recipe and only had enough for one dish. They under estimated the amount of potatoes which would equal 6 cups mashed.

This is a great recipe but I added nutmeg and a tiny bit of vanilla extract and it added a little kick. You can also par boil the sweet potatoes if you are short on time. Enjoy!
