Around this neck of the woods, casseroles are a staple at any gathering.  Of course, in the midwest many people prefer the term hotdish.  But that is neither here nor there. For today’s recipe, I wanted to share a healthy casserole/hotdish that is perfect for the holiday season gathering! 

So please enjoy – and please share any holiday food traditions you might have in your family.  (Even if they don’t involve a hotdish!)

Yields: 12

Ingredients:
1 (48 ounce) can sweet potatoes, drained and sliced 1/8 inch thick
4 tart apples, cored, peeled, sliced 1/2 inch thick
2 (16 ounce) cans unsweetened sliced pineapple, juice reserved
4 bananas, peeled and sliced
2 (16 ounce) cans jellied cranberry sauce, sliced 1/2 inch thick
1/2 cup light brown sugar, packed
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon 

Instructions:
1. Preheat oven to 350°; spray a 9x13 baking dish with nonstick spray.
2.  Mix the brown sugar and cinnamon.
3. Layer 1/3 of the sweet potatoes in the bottom of the prepared dish; continue layering with 1/2 the apples, pineapple, bananas and cranberry sauce; sprinkle with half the mixed brown sugar and cinnamon.
4. Layer with another 1/3 of the sweet potatoes and top with the remaining apples, pineapple, bananas, cranberry sauce, brown sugar and cinnamon.
5. Top with the remaining sweet potatoes; drizzle the reserved pineapple juice over the whole casserole.
6. Cover with aluminum foil and bake for 15 minutes; uncover and bake for another 15 minutes until the casserole is hot and bubbling.
