PIN IT FOR LATER! This is a must at our holiday table! Some other favorites are Snickers Salad, Scalloped Corn and Broccoli, or check out any of my other side dish recipes! I love trying new recipes. But when it comes to the holidays, I will admit that there are a few recipes that have to be on my table for it to feel like a holiday. For Thanksgiving, that includes pumpkin pie, Cranberry Salad, and this sweet potato casserole recipe. I first made this recipe back in 2007 and I think there has only been one Thanksgiving since then that I haven’t had this sweet potato recipe. And I have vowed to never let that happen again. I love, love, love sweet potatoes. I love a good dish of Mashed Sweet Potatoes. And don’t get me wrong, I wouldn’t even pass up the sweet potatoes topped with marshmallows. But really, nothing tops this sweet potato casserole! IngredientsSweet Potatoes: You’ll need about 2 pounds of sweet potatoes, which is usually 4 small to medium or 2 large. Mine in the photo were quite large. Sugar: Regular granulated sugar is what goes in the filling. Milk: I use 2%, but whole or even 1% should be fine. I even have a commenter that likes to use evaporated milk, which is also a great alternate. Eggs: I use large eggs. Don’t skip the eggs, because they are what holds everything together! Vanilla: I like to use real vanilla extract. Salt: To balance the flavors. Brown Sugar: The brown sugar is for the topping. You’ll be making a streusel-type topping. Flour: All-purpose works best here. Butter: I like to use unsalted, but you could use salted in this recipe. Make sure your butter is cold and cut into small cubes. Pecans: For more flavor, toast your pecans before chopping them. How to Make Sweet Potato Casserole
How to Make the Brown Sugar Topping
From here, all you need to do is bake the sweet potato casserole until it is golden brown, about 30-40 minutes. Frequently Asked QuestionsCan You Make this Sweet Potato Casserole Recipe ahead of time?Yes! If you are making it ahead of time, keep the crumble topping separate and add that just before baking. Just cover and refrigerate both the casserole and the topping until you are ready to bake. I would let the sweet potato casserole sit out for a bit before baking as well, just to bring it back to room temperature. Then add the topping and bake as you normally would. If baking straight from the refrigerator, you will need to add on some extra time. Can you cut back on the sugar?Yes, it is a lot of sugar. Yes, the casserole is sweet. But it really is so good just how it is. If you are worried about it being too sweet, there have been some commenters that have cut back on the sugar and still loved it! Can you use gluten free flour?I haven’t personally tested it, but others have substituted 1:1 with success. Tips and Tricks
