Mmm, sweet potato casserole. I don't know a soul who doesn't think it's one of the tastiest, sweetest things that could ever land on your table. I know, it's one of those things that usually only ends up on the holiday table (at least around my parts), but I look forward to it each and every year. I always dot the top of mine with marshmallows, as in the recipe below, but I know plenty of people who don't and I can tell you, it's just as good!
I love the sweet potatoes mixed together with eggs that give it a little rise, baking spices, and of course, lots of butter! But other than the marshmallows, I have to say, I think it might be that crispy, crunchy topping that gets me every time. It gives much-needed texture to the sweet potatoes and, who doesn't love pecans? They're delicious, and they're absolutely divine in that topping! If you haven't made sweet potato casserole, I don't know what you're waiting for!
