Creamy mashed sweet potatoes


I am on mushies again, since I had a fill this week. Scrambled eggs weren't cutting it for me, and I didn't want to eat the empty calories of mashed potatoes, so I decided to experiment with a new dish. It's not bad! I am not a fan of sweet potatoes, and I don't like it when brown sugar or marshmallow is added to them. I tried to go in the opposite direction with this recipe, and I think it worked!

Edible elements:

  • 4 medium/large sweet potatoes
  • 1 can of 98% fat free cream of chicken soup
  • 4 oz of low fat cheddar cheese
  • 1/4 cup of milk
  • 1.5 tbsp smart balance light butter
  • Salt and pepper

Peel and slice the sweet potatoes into smaller pieces. Boil until soft. Mix in blender with remaining ingredients until soft. Spoon into casserole dish and bake in oven on 350 for 20 minutes.

Serve and enjoy!
