Karen, this sounds amazing!  I'm printing it off right now. I would be great for my vegan (w/o the sour cream, of course) kids. Yes, adding some chicken would make it super, too!

Thanks for sharing, Karen, this sounds like something my whole family would enjoy!

sounds yummo! will have to go in my faves til i can print!!!
thx!

hugs, Jacki

Okay, I didn't have everything, so this is what I did....

I cubes the raw sweet potato and nuked them and sautéed them in some Olive oil until caramelized. Then I added the can of corn. Since I didn't have avocado or sour cream I sprinkled some chipolte chili pwdr onto the mixture. It was really good, and since I served it with roasted chicken, I have that to dice into it for another meal.

Thanks, Karen!

Susan, You remind me of my mom. One time she made Hamburger Helper when it first came out many years ago. She ranted and raved about it not being very good then realized she hadn't put any burger in it. I think you created a new recipe! I'm going to just do the sweet potatoes this way as I love them plain.

Sometimes when I mash my sweet potatoes I'll put a dash or two of that chipolte chili pwdr into them. Sweet and savory mmmmmmmm

Just wanted you to know I tossed in some leftover chicken and heated up the hash. MAN! SOOOOO good!

Thanks again!
