This is a play on southern burnt tomatoes, which I was first introduced to by the Turkey & The Wolf cookbook (which you should pick up!) It's a sweet but salty casserole with creamy sweet potatoes, subtly hot tomatoes and a burnt, caramelized top that you simply must try. It comes out of the oven lava hot, and I'm obsessed.
