Anyway, there are a trillion recipes out there, most certainly with more appealing photos, but this photo was the only one I could find (it's from a past Thanksgiving dinner). Probably because I never think to take photos before inhaling the sweet potato casserole. Anyway, since Thanksgiving is coming up, I thought I'd share the recipe for my very favorite Thanksgiving dish!
Sweet Potato Casserole
For the Potatoes:
3 cups of mashed sweet potatoes (with nothing added to them--just cooked and mashed)
1 cup of sugar
1 stick of butter, melted
2 eggs, beaten
1 tsp. vanilla
For the Topping:
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup of flour
2-1/2 Tbsp. butter
1/2 cup chopped walnuts or pecans
Mix all of the ingredients for the potatoes and spread in a 9x9 casserole dish. Combine the topping ingredients together (cutting in the butter with a fork) until crumbly, and sprinkle evenly over the potatoes. Bake at 350 for about 40 minutes.
I LOVE sweet potato casserole.
ReplyDeleteThis year, hubby and I are going to try to make our own pumpkin pie or pumpkin cheesecake recipe from scratch.
He's really good with all things pastry -- and I'm a champ at fillings so we're thinking our powers combined could spell "y-u-m-m-y".
I use maple sugar in mine. (It is the main reason I subscribed to Amazon prime 😂🤣) It makes them really yummy. I also bake the sweet potatoes vs using canned and it carmelizes them and makes them even sweeter so I can use less sugar and not miss it. Dad hates leftovers and this sweet potato casserole is all he lets us leave behind for him to enjoy.
ReplyDeleteYum! This looks really good! I haven't found a sweet potato casserole recipe I really like, so I'll have to try this one.
