Sweet Potato Not Pie
Provided by Emily Farris, author of "Casserole Crazy: Hot Stuff for Your Oven"

4-6 medium sweet potatoes, peeled and thinly sliced
1 large white onion, chopped
1 green, habanero or jalapeño pepper, depending on how much spice you like
6-8 ounces fresh goat cheese
approx 3/4 cup olive oil
salt

Preheat oven to 400ºF.

Cover the bottom of a 2-1/2-quart casserole dish with a layer of sweet potatoes. Add a layer of onions, peppers, and crumbled goat cheese. Drizzle with a tbsp of olive oil and sprinkle with salt. Repeat layers until you reach the top of your dish (try to finish with sweet potatoes and just a drizzle of olive oil), saving at least 1 ounce of goat cheese for the end.

Cover and bake at 400º for an hour and 15 minutes to an hour and a half or until a fork goes through the entire dish easily. Remove from the oven and cover with the remainder of goat cheese. Bake, uncovered for an additional 10-15 minutes.

Let stand for 10 minutes before serving.
