- 1/4 cup sour cream
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme

Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C) to ensure it’s ready for baking the casserole later.
- Sauté Sweet Potatoes: Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat and sauté the cubed sweet potatoes for 10 to 12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are tender and slightly caramelized.
- Prepare the Sauce: In a large mixing bowl, combine the cream of mushroom soup, sour cream, dried thyme, salt, and pepper. Mix thoroughly until well blended.

- Assemble Casserole: Transfer the mixture into a greased baking dish, spreading it out evenly. Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly on top of the mixture.
- Bake: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the cheese is melted, bubbly, and lightly golden.
- Serve: Remove from the oven and let it cool slightly before serving hot. Enjoy your delicious Amish Harvest Casserole!
Notes
- You can use pre-cooked rotisserie chicken to save time.
- For extra flavor, add a pinch of smoked paprika or garlic powder to the sauce.
- Substitute the cream of mushroom soup with a homemade mushroom sauce for a fresher taste.
- If you prefer a crispy top, broil the casserole for 2-3 minutes after baking.
