What Does This Easy Bake Sweet Potato Recipe Taste Like?

If you have ever had sweet potato and BBQ sauce in a dish, you will know how harmonious they are together. Instead of overwhelming you with their sweetness, they truly compliment each other so well.

Mexican spices are mixed into the canned beans and corn, and juicy rotisserie chicken is shredded over the top. You get notes of cumin and garlic with each sweet and smokey bite, and occasional spicy twangs from the pepper jack cheese.

For something that only takes 10 minutes to prepare, it sure is delicious!

How Do You Make This BBQ Sweet Potato Casserole Recipe?

If you are wondering what to eat with rotisserie chicken, this is the dinner for you! Like I mentioned, it is SUPER easy to throw together, making it the perfect cheesy chicken casserole for your family!

  1. Start by peeling and chopping the sweet potatoes into 1/2 inch cubes, then place them in a casserole dish. They cook quicker at this size.
  2. Mix together the BBQ sauce and milk, and pour over the sweet potatoes. Mix well to coat every piece.
  3. Place the rinsed black beans and corn into a bowl, and toss them with the cumin, garlic powder and salt. Pour them evenly over the sweet potatoes. Do not mix, as we want the sweet potatoes to stay sitting in the bbq sauce mixture on the bottom.
  4. Add your shredded rotisserie chicken to the top
  5. Bake for 35 minutes. Sprinkle with a generous amount of pepper jack cheese, and place back in the oven until the cheese is melted, about 6 minutes. Sprinkle with green onion and serve!
  6. Option to serve with tortilla chips!

Simple Ingredient Substitutions:

Here at Recipe Hippie, I highly encourage using the ingredients that you have on hand. For example, if you don’t have pepper jack cheese, but you have cheddar cheese, USE THE CHEDDAR! Don’t miss out on a delicious casserole recipe because you are missing an ingredient. Get creative, and use what you have.

Let me know in the comments if you made any ingredient substitutions, I love to hear how creative you guys get!

Pepper Jack CheeseYou can really use ANY cheese that you have on hand. Cheddar, Monterey Jack, Gouda, Provolone, Swiss or even Parmesan all work.
Black BeansAny canned bean will work here. Try kidney beans, white beans, cannelloni, navy beans or pinto beans.
MilkIf you are dairy free, or you have a different type of milk on hand, use it! Coconut milk, almond milk and hemp milk all work fine.
Sweet Potato Casserole ToppingsI served mine with chopped green onions and avocado. Try chopped cilantro or parsley, fresh tomatoes, or diced red onion.
Rotisserie ChickenI used rotisserie chicken to save me the time and effort of cooking chicken breasts ahead of time. But it is totally fine to use baked chicken breast or thigh meat if you have it on hand!
