Twice Baked Yams With Cheddar Cheese and Bacon
Prep Time10 Minutes
Servings4
Cook Time32 Minutes
Ingredients
4 Large yams, nicely shaped and scrubbed
6 Slices of bacon
2 cups (500 mL) Western Family cheddar cheese, shredded
1/4 cup (60 mL) Sour cream
1/4 cup (60 mL) Chives, chopped
1/2 tsp (2 mL) Fine sea salt
Black pepper to taste
Directions
- Pre-heat your oven to 425 degrees F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Pierce the yams with a fork and place on a microwavable plate or paper towel.
- Microwave on high about 8 minutes. Flip over and microwave for another 8 minutes. It should be tender. You might need a couple more minutes if it hasn’t reached the right tenderness. Once tender, let it cool a bit.
- In a large pan over medium-high heat, cook the bacon, turning it over, until crisp, about 8 minutes.
- Remove from the pan onto a plate with paper towels on it, to drain the bacon. Let it cool and then chop up into rough pieces.
- Cut the yam in half lengthwise and scoop out the pulp (insides), leaving a ¼ inch thick shell all around.
- Place the pulp in a mixing bowl with the bacon, sour cream, chives, salt and pepper. Mix together until well combined.
- Then spoon the mixture into the yam shells. Sprinkle 2-3 tablespoons of cheddar cheese over the tops of the yams.
- Placed stuffed yams onto baking sheet and put in oven to bake for about 8 minutes, until the cheese is golden and melted.
- When done, remove from oven and sprinkle with a bit of fresh chives and serve.
