This yummy casserole makes what's good for you taste good too. Pairing bananas with sweet potatoes unites two power foods into a change-of-pace side dish. Try it with roasted poultry. —Susan McCartney, Onalaska, Wisconsin

Banana BasicsLook for plump bananas that are evenly yellow-colored. Green bananas are under-ripe, while a flecking of brown flecks indicates ripeness. If bananas are too green, place in a paper bag until ripe. Adding an apple to the bag will speed the process. Store ripe bananas at room temperature. To prevent bruises, a banana hook or hanger is a great inexpensive investment. For longer storage, you can place ripe bananas in a tightly sealed plastic bag and refrigerate. The peel will become brown but the flesh will remain unchanged. One pound of bananas equals about 3 medium or 1-1/3 cups mashed.

Banana flavor too strong. Family did not like the combination.

I thought this was really delicious, the banana flavor really stood out!I used a yam in with the sweet potatoes, so the finished dish was a little discolored, but still just as tasty!

Tasty and a nice sweetness to the sweet potatoes without adding sugar. I might add a touch of cinnamon or pumpkin pie spice next time in place of the curry powder.
