Sweet Potato Casserole
Dessert or casserole? I think it depends who you ask. I think you could eat this luscious Sweet Potato Casserole either as a side dish or as a dessert. It reminds me a little of a cross between a pecan pie and a pumpkin pie. It’s definitely indulgent!
Even people who hate sweet potatoes will enjoy this easy recipe. I couldn’t stop thinking about the leftovers in my fridge and had to help myself to an extra serving.
Thanksgiving is past here in Canada, but I know it’s still coming up for my USA friends. I highly recommend you add this dish to your Thanksgiving spread. I bet it will be gobbled up faster than you can say “turkey”!
The filling is creamy and sweet and the topping adds an extra bit of flavour and crunch. I know once you try it, you’ll want to make it again and again.
