Sweet Potato Pecan Casserole

“I’m not a huge candied sweet potatoes fan and I can’t stand marshmallows in my food. These are the perfect alternative to that and super easy to make! They are now a new family tradition!”

“This is a lovely sweet potato recipe with sweetness and creaminess. I definitely suggest doubling the crumble topping (but stick to only 1/2 c of brown sugar total). I wonder if oats might be something to add to this topping… My blender didn’t entirely smooth out the sweet potatoes but they were smooth enough. I think this is such a wonderful improvement from the sickenly sweet recipe of marshmallows and tinned sweet potatoes.”

“This is my fav Thanksgiving dish so far, and not only me but all my guests absolutely love it. I never have leftover of it.”

“All twelve people at dinner loved this dish. I left out the brown sugar, and used 1-2 tablespoons of maple syrup in the topping instead, and increased the pecans to about 2/3 cup. Mashing with a fork worked fine. So delicious, and plenty sweet.”

Uhm-A-zing!! Simply incredible!! In fact this very dish won me a first place at a recent Pot Luck dinner of about 15 dishes. Made this twice in one month after I tried it at my aunt’s house. She used a Vitamix to mash the potatoes and I did the same. The texture comes out that of a souffle. Its melt in your mouth deliciousness. The only change I made was to use more pecans so there is more yummy topping on top. The recipe makes quite a lot with 5 lbs. I ended up using two flat baking dishes.This will be my go-to sweet potato recipe from now on.”

This is just incredible. One of the best things I have ever made! I cut down the sugar a bit of course, did not make a difference. Still amazingly delicious. I make this every year for a Friendsgiving and it always wins the best dish and always a great hit!”

Fabulous! I too grew up with the marshmallow topped, canned dish. No way I’m continuing that bad tradition! But, I do enjoy sweet potatoes, and ones that have added sweetness. Made these 2 days in advance, and refrigerated without topping. Made topping thanksgiving morning, popped in the oven when the turkey came out. Made exactly as recipe called for. Everyone raved! The new thanksgiving sweet potato recipe at my house is born!”
