Our Thanksgiving celebration would not be complete without this delicious Sweet Potato Casserole! Everyone loves it so much that sometimes they even eat seconds for dessert!
I started making this tasty recipe when my kids were little. I really don’t even remember where the recipe came from. It was such a success that it has made it to every Thanksgiving since! This is one of those dishes that everyone looks forward to every year.
I love being able to make sides that can be made ahead and then just be popped in the oven to finish cooking right before serving. I always make this dish the day before and keep it in the fridge until I’m ready to cook it. After all, the cook should be able to enjoy spending time with family on Thanksgiving too!
