Sweet Potato Casserole is a staple dish for Thanksgiving in our house. I have tried many recipe’s over the years that were great. Fortunately I got the chance to try this awesome recipe at a work luncheon and its hands down the best! It has a brown sugar pecan topping that’s crunchy and balances out the smooth and creamy sweet potato mixture. I’m drooling just thinking about it.
A quick tip to save time on this dish is to use the individually wrapped sweet potatoes that can be microwaved, they take about 8 mins. This is not the traditional way to do it but it is easier : )
