Bacon Sweet Potato Casserole

In my world, most anything’s better with bacon. Just the aroma of it early in the morning is intoxicating. Smells do evoke deep seeded memories. And, for me, the scent of frying bacon brings back floods of happy memories from childhood.

From early morning flag raising at music camp and then heading to the mess hall for breakfast to spending summers with my favorite Aunt Deliah and Uncle Frank. His speciality was cooking up big breakfasts for us kids, yes, always bacon.

Sweet potatoes are such a complete ingredient.  And, it’s one of the first vegetables young Moms will start feeding their babies. Check out my Grandma’s Healthy Sweet Potato Baby Food. It’s elevated dinning for young ones. We’re talking a healthy soufflé! 

And, to add to the immense textures, flavors and healthiness, you can throw in some baby spinach. Fresh works but, you could certainly use frozen (thawed). And, if this is your option, be sure to use paper towels to squeeze out as much of the liquid as possible before adding to your mix.

Bacon is a fat that adds immense flavor to food. And this sweet potato hash is really amplified with it! As the potatoes cook with the spices and drippings, it’s all absorbed into the naturally sweet ‘sweet potato’.

Of course, I always keep my bacon drippings. It would be like throwing out ‘gold’.

Yes, it’s part of my West Virginia food heritage when times were tough and you didn’t waste anything. So, if you don’t have drippings in a can or jar, then when you fry it, use the thick cut, then crumble up the bacon and toss it on top the potatoes! I guarantee you’re gonna have immensely delighted happy and satisfied food seekers!
