Bringing this to a potluck...and a bottle of wine. If I run into trouble, I'll send up a flare. -
Fantastic! We ate with a roasted chicken with barbeque spices. This is a fun Southwestern theme, not too foreign and not too many ingredients. We will definately make again! I like that the spiciness can be adjusted by the amount of pepper seeds that are removed (or not) from the chipotle peppers. Thanks for posting, this was a big winner! -
This is an amazing side dish. I used yams instead of sweet potatoes, and I baked instead of boiled them. The best part about this is that you can make it ahead of time and heat it in a crockpot if you're baking other things, say a turkey or ham. The dish is sweet, but not overwhelmingly so, and the chipotle gives it a unique kick.

We live in a great neighborhood just outside of San Antonio. We are retired and entertain a lot in addition to having family & children around whenever possible. I grow my own vegetables and herbs. I like to go to the Hill Country for fresh peaches and love to can them for year round use.
