Easy Sweet Potato Casserole

Did you know that North Carolina is the leader in sweet potato production? What a wonderfully, nutritious vegetable to have abundantly in my backyard. These little guys are packed full of vitamins, minerals, dietary fiber and antioxidants.

I have been doing a little research and found that the beta carotene found in these scrumptious vegetables is better absorbed with a little bit of fat. Well, if that is the case then I have the perfect recipe for your family.

My super picky eater will eat two or three servings of this sweet potato casserole. Let me warn you, this recipe is not the healthiest, but a great way to get those kiddos to eat their veggies.

1 super large sweet potato or 2 medium sized sweet potatoes
