Easy Sweet Potato Casserole
Our Sweet Potato Casserole with pecan crumble topping is the ultimate holiday side dish. This is my sister's recipe, and it is famous at our family’s Thanksgiving dinners. It’s a classic recipe with a fluffy and souffle-like sweet potato layer topped with a crunchy pecan streusel.
My sister taught me how to make her famous sweet potato casserole, and wow, is it good! I love that it’s make-ahead friendly and I’m always happy when we have leftovers from this dish because it reheats well.
There’s nothing more comforting than the sweet smells, luxurious texture, and crisp nutty topping. It’s sweet enough for dessert but not too sweet to be served beside Prime Rib Roast on Christmas or Easter.
