Who doesn’t love Sweet Potato Casserole? Being such a Thanksgiving tradition, there are hundreds of ways to make it. This is the way my Mom does it. So, naturally, it’s my favorite!
Sweet Potato Casserole Recipe:
There are very few ingredients, so it is simple to make. Make it the night before, and just cover in the fridge. Uncover and bake right before dinner. For Thanksgiving any time of year, we’ve even made extra and put into smaller dishes and frozen them. When you get the craving, just thaw it and bake it. I think it would even be great with a scoop of vanilla ice cream! Casserole or Dessert…you decide.
Sweet Potato Casserole Ingredients:
Potato Mixture:
3 cups sweet potatoes, mashed

3/4 cup sugar (I used 1/2 cup)
1/2 stick butter
1 teaspoon vanilla
Topping Mixture:
1 cup brown sugar
1 cup chopped pecans
1/2 stick butter
4 tablespoons flour
How To Make Sweet Potato Casserole:
1. Preheat oven to 350
2. Mix first five ingredients and spread into a buttered 9 X 9 casserole dish. Mix topping ingredients and crumble on top of potato mixture.
3. Bake 25-30 minutes
**My Mom always doubles this (at least) so that we have leftovers. And, don’t forget, you can always make more and put into two dishes. Use on Thanksgiving, and put one in the freezer!
