LOW FAT SWEET POTATO CASSEROLE





4 large sweet potatoes, peeled and diced


3 egg whites


1 T brown sugar


Dash cinnamon, Dash nutmeg


Salt/pepper





1/4 cup FAT FREE Half and Half *near the regular half and half


OR


1/4 cup chicken stock





1 T margarine





Boil the potato chunks until tender (about 20 mins). Drain well and add the sugar, salt/pepper, spices, margarine, half and half OR chicken stock and mash with a masher or mixer until smooth like mashed potatoes.


Add in the egg whites and beat until incorporated.





Pour mixture into a sprayed baking dish (glass, if you have it) and bake uncovered for 30 mins on 350.
Ingredients:





1 large butternut squash (large enough to yield 2 cups mashed flesh)





1/2 cup Egg Beaters; Original





1/3 cup light vanilla soymilk





1/3 cup sugar-free maple syrup





1 tsp. cinnamon





1/4 cup SPLENDA; Granular





1 tsp. vanilla extract





2/3 cup miniature marshmallows











Directions:





Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Peel squash and cut into large chunks (removing seeds). Fill a large, microwave-safe dish with a half an inch of water. Place squash into dish and cover with plastic wrap. Microwave for approximately 8 minutes (and drain). Squash should be tender enough to mash, but not fully cooked. With a potato masher, food processor or fork, mash squash. Measure out 2 generous cups, lightly packed, and place in an oven-safe baking dish. Add all ingredients except for marshmallows. Mix ingredients thoroughly, but do not over-stir; squash should still be pulpy. Allow to cook for 45 鈥?50 minutes. Remove from oven, and disperse marshmallows over top of pie. Return to oven for 5 minutes, until marshmallows begin to brown. Allow to cool. Serves 4.
