# Expert Suggestions:

01 -
  • It comes together in under an hour but tastes like something you spent all morning lovingly preparing
  • The sweet and savory combo hits every comfort food craving without leaving you heavy
02 -
  • Do not skip sautéing the sweet potatoes first or they will be undercooked in the finished casserole
  • The center should still have a slight wiggle when you remove it from the oven as it will finish cooking while resting
03 -
  • Grate your own cheese instead of buying pre-shredded for better melting
  • Pat the sautéed vegetables with paper towels if there is excess oil before adding them to the dish
