Smoked Sweet Potato Casserole is a smokey twist on a classic Thanksgiving Side dish. Now that I have made this traditional sweet potato casserole on the smoker, I am not sure I will make it another way. Even though it is only thought of during the holidays, it is the perfect side dish for any dinner!

Sweet Potatoes are a family favorite, so even though this is usually a favorite holiday side dish we also make it year-round. Plus the old lady picks up extra hams and turkeys during the holidays for later in the year! I made this casserole on my Pitboss Pro 1100. This will be how we make this for Thanksgiving dinner this year, alongside our green bean casserole.

Smoked Sweet Potato Casserole Ingredients:

  • Sweet Potatoes
  • Butter
  • Eggs
  • Vanilla
  • Ground Cinnamon
  • Sugar
  • Heavy Cream

 Sweet Potato Casserole Topping Ingredients:

  • Flour
  • Light Brown Sugar
  • Chopped Pecans
 

How To Smoke Sweet Potatoes:

Just like baking a baked potato or sweet potatoes be sure to wash them of any dirt. 

Allow the potatoes to dry and stab them with a skewer or a knife, puncturing the potato will allow it to not explode during the smoking process. 

Clean up your smoker and have it ready to roll a smoke.

Turn your smoker to 350 degrees and place in your sweet potatoes.

I placed the smaller sweet potatoes on the left side of my grill as that side doesn’t cook as hot, and put the large sweet potatoes on the right-hand side as that side of the smoker seems to cook hotter.

How Long To Smoke Sweet Potatoes:

Smoking sweet potatoes isn’t too hard to do.

Leave the sweet potatoes on the smoker for about 35 minutes.

You want to pull them when they being to soften, I squeezed mine with tongs to test them or till they were fork-tender.

Remove your sweet potatoes. I left my smoker rolling to bake the sweet potato casserole in.
 

How To Make Sweet Potato Casserole:

Now you could put the casserole in the oven instead of placing the dish on the smoker, using smoked sweet potatoes will add a smoke flavor even in the range.

Peeling Skin From Smoked Sweet Potatoes

Slice your smoked sweet potatoes and remove the skin. You can use an oven glove or allow them to cool off a bit.

If you did not smoke your sweet potatoes, boil a large pot of water to boil the potatoes into before making them into mashed potatoes.

Place the peeled potatoes into a large mixing bowl and add ¼ Cup Butter, Eggs, Vanilla, Cinnamon, White Sugar, and Cream.

Use an electric mixer, hand mixer, or potato masher to combine this together until it is a creamy sweet potato mixture.

Mashed Smoked Sweet Potatoes In Bowl

Grease a 9X13 pan or casserole dish with a cooking spray, if placing the casserole in the smoker this dish will stain with the smoke from the smoker. I also keep a stash of aluminum pans for the smoker on hand, the old lady doesn’t like it if I keep staining more dishes. 

 Move the sweet potato mixture into your prepared baking dish.

In a small bowl combine ¼ butter, flour, brown sugar, and pecans with a spatula until is a coarse meal.

The butter does not need to be melted butter room temperature butter will work. (This was my first time making this pecan topping. it could be thrown in a food processor but the topping was deemed the best part)

Sprinkle this mixture over the top of the casserole of sweet potato filling, for a crunchy topping. , it will be like a crunchy streusel or cobbler topping inconsistency.

Either bake or smoke the dish for about 30 minutes at 350 Degrees until the topping is golden brown.

What dishes do you smoke for your holiday meal? I love that it frees oven space but is also a comforting dish.

How To Store Leftover Sweet Potato Casserole

Store your leftover smoked sweet potato casserole in the fridge for up to four or five days.   You will store this in an air-tight container; my pyrex pan has a lid that works perfectly for storage.
