Sounds good! How much is "a jar"? Thanks!

how hot should the oven be? this sounds really yummy, but I don't want to burn the stuff!

I served this dish as the main course of our Sunday dinner.  Most of my friends and family like spicy food and thought this dish was delicious!
     Applejacks582 asked how hot the oven should be, I set our oven at 325 degrees Fahrenheit.  The key is to cook the sweet potatoes to your desired consistency.

I loved this recipe! My non-veg, non-spicy-food-eating boyfriend even liked it.

I baked at 350 deg F for an hour because I like sweet potato well-cooked, then I sprinkled the rest of the "follow you heart" mozzarella on top. I thought it would melt right away but it doesn't so be sure to leave plenty of cooking time to melt the cheese on top. (20 min is probably right)

Also, the jar of salsa I used was 16 oz.

enjoy!

I liked this a lot. Although next I think it would be good served with sour cream or sour cream substitute.

Yum!!  This is one of the best recipes we've made from this site!

This was awesome.  I bake it at 350 degrees and used toffuti sour cream.  It goes together so quickly and the leftovers are awsome for lunch.  I left out the pepper flakes.  This made it too spicey for my 4 year old.

Can this be made ahead and refrigerated?

I quadrupled this recipe, but used only 2 jars of salsa and it was a crowd pleaser.  I also put in less spice and the non-spice lovers in the crowd were as happy as the spice lovers.   It filled 2 13x9 Pyrex casserole dishes.  Super yummy!!

This was delicious. I added black beans to the leftovers & ate it the next day in a wrap. Very satisfying!

This is a great dish! I made it last night and I looooved the contrast of the sweet potates to the spices.

ok. i cheated.  i couldn't didn't want to wait all that time for the potato to bake, so i microwaved it.    then i diced it up and left the skin on, mixed it up with the rest of the ingredients and then baked it just to heat it all thru.  I left out the cumin, crushed red pepper, chips, onion (i figured the salsa already had it in there), and cheese.  hmm i sounds like i took out alot.. but i did add a small diced orange pepper and served it with fresh diced tomato, avacado & mango.  it was sooo good- the mango definitely helped cool the spice down.  I feel completely stuffed.. but it feels great thinking that it was all 100% veggies & fruit!

This is absolutely delicious!  I left out the onion, and it was still fantastic.

Really yummy.  I tried baking it into a pie and that didn't work so well, but that's me not the recipe!  It does take quite a while to cook the sweet potato and I would consider partially cooking it before mixing everything together.
