1 bag Market Fresh Sweet Potato Steamers
8 oz heavy whipping cream
3 oz smoked gouda cheese, shredded
3 tbsp butter (cut in equal slices, enough for each sweet potato)
1 green onion, diced
2 slices of bacon, raw
1 tbsp brown sugar
Dash of nutmeg
Salt and pepper, to taste
Garlic salt
Servings 6-8
1Steam the sweet potatoes according to instructions on the back of the bag. In the meantime, preheat oven to 350°F. Place two slices of bacon on a baking sheet, and bake until just before golden brown, or about 10-15 minutes.
2Pull out bacon, sprinkle with brown sugar, and continue baking for another 5-10 minutes until the sugar is caramelized. Remove from oven and let bacon cool. Dice caramelized bacon and leave to the side.
3In a small sauté pan, simmer heavy whipping cream for 10-15 minutes stirring constantly to ensure it does not burn.
4When the sweet potatoes are done steaming, place on a baking sheet and smash with a fork. Place a slice of butter on top and sprinkle with garlic salt and pepper to taste. Bake for 10 minutes.
5Once the cream has simmered, whisk in gouda cheese, a dash of nutmeg, and salt and pepper to taste. Let simmer for another 5-10 minutes or until it’s thick enough to coat the back of a spoon and heated thoroughly. Set aside.
6Remove sweet potatoes from oven. Top with cheese sauce, and garnish with green onions and caramelized bacon. Serve and enjoy!
