Bargain Meal of the Week 11/20/10: Sausage Sweet Potato Casserole


It's time for another week of Bargain Meals! Erin over at $5 Dinners (a great read!) is hosting a gathering of bloggers all over the Internet, creating frugal meals straight from the sales circulars of their favorite stores. Check it out for even more inspiration. I contribute every week for the current sales at Publix, which run from Wednesday to the following Tuesday. Keep in mind that you do not need to purchase two of a product to get the buy one get one price. Publix marks down their products to half price for the BOGO deals.

This would make a great Thanksgiving dish!

Sausage Sweet Potato Casserole
from Southernfood

Ingredients:

  • 1 can (20 ounces) pineapple chunks in juice
  • 1 can (about 18 ounces) sweet potatoes, sliced 1-inch thick
  • 12 to 16 ounces smoked sausage, links or sliced in serving-size pieces
  • 3 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon butter
Directions:

Drain pineapple, reserving juice in a 2-cup measure. Add water to juice to make 1 1/2 cups.

Arrange pineapple chunks, sliced sweet potatoes, and sausage in a lightly greased shallow baking dish. In a small saucepan over low heat, combine brown sugar, cornstarch, and salt. Gradually stir in reserved pineapple juice.

Cook, stirring constantly, until thickened and bubbly; cook and stir for 1 minute longer. Remove from heat; stir in butter. Pour mixture over sausage and sweet potato mixture. Cover and bake at 350° for 30 to 40 minutes, until sweet potato casserole is heated through.

(If beginning with raw sweet potatoes, you may need to pre-cook in microwave after chopping.)
