Start
by peeling the yams and cutting them into bite sized pieces. You'll
want to have enough yams to fill a 9 by 13 pan, which usually is four
medium to large yams. Cut the Andouille sausage into small bite sized
pieces.
In a small sauce pan melt the butter on low heat, as the butter starts to melt add the brown sugar, maple syrup, pepper, chili powder, and 1 tsp of salt. Whisk until everything comes together.
Mix the yams and sauce together and put them in a 9 by 13 baking dish. Lay the sausage across the top of the yams. Cover the pan with foil.
Bake in a 400℉ oven for 40 minutes. Make sure to stir everything up at least once so everything cooks evenly. Take the foil off for the final 5 minutes of cooking.
Before serving mix in 1/2 tsp of salt and few turns of fresh ground pepper. Serve hot.

Notes
The yams are done when they are tender enough to cut through with a fork, but still hold their shape.
Two Andouille sausages equals 8 oz of sausage.
