Sweet Potato Casserole

img_3076

This is holiday family favorite. I remember, as an adult, when I discovered I could make it other times of the year other than Christmas and Thanksgiving. Novel concept I know. It is great for fall and especially as you start seeing yams and sweet potatoes go on sale.

  1. I’ve told my mom many times that I don’t care what else is on the table at the holidays as long as the sweet potatoes are there. I don’t think yours has NEARLY enough pecans!! ;)

    I made my first one this year. I put marshmallows in it – did not even think about the pecans – I will try to remember that next time. I did not know you freeze it either ( I am learning something here).
    I really like simple down to earth recipes.
    Thanks for posting this.
