How To Make comfortable yams (or carrots, squash)

Step 1

Drain yams or carrots, pour into microwave safe bowl or large casserole dish. Of course, you can use fresh veggies - just roast and peel them as you normally would first!

Step 2

Combine vanilla, ginger ale and Southern Comfort.
Step 3

Combine all dry ingredients.
Step 4

Add dry ingredients to liquid, mix until dissolved.
Step 5

Cut butter into cubes and distribute evenly over yams or carrots.
Step 6

Pour mixture over yams or carrots, fold to coat.
Step 7

Bake at 350 degrees 30 minutes or microwave on high for 10 minutes until bubbling.
Step 8

Let stand a few minutes before serving. Can top with mini-marshmallows if desired.
Step 9

The sauce is more versatile than I thought. Recently I've discovered it's fantastic as an addition to barbeque sauce, a dipping sauce, some pie recipes (awesome with pumpkin), a glaze for some meats and it will also work with other veggies. Be adventurous!
