Twice-baked sweet potatoes are going to be your new fall go-to when it comes time to make dinner after work, school, or even for some weekend fare. This dish takes the beloved vegetable that you’ve probably had roasted or baked at your family dinners, or perhaps you’ve even tried as fries, and turns it on its head with the addition of what traditionally seems a sort of Tex-Mex finish.

Loaded with cheese, beans, onions, garlic, tomatoes, and that Texas staple—jalapenos—twice-baked sweet potatoes are a masterpiece of modern culinary creations. An amalgamation of a food staple, which children have often been known to turn their noses up at, with Mexican-inspired touches and tastes turns this root vegetable into a savory meal worth rushing to the table for. Shared by Delish, which calls it “creamy, carb-y, and comforting,” it’s a dish that you can prepare for family dinners, potluck meals, backyard barbecues, or evenings in with friends to pair with wine. It can also be made ahead if you’re in a bit of a rush to prepare other things along with it.
