Sweet Potato Casserole With Brown Sugar Topping

Today, I will share with you a recipe for Thanksgiving. THANKSGIVING! You’ll love it if you catch it. This is a rich, creamy sweet potato casserole made from scratch with a crunchy topping of brown sugar. It’s warm and comforting, and you can have it right now.

You have two choices right now. You can be shocked and amazed that Thanksgiving is just around the corner (this would be my default since I usually don’t think about Thanksgiving until the three days prior – WHO AM I RIGHT NOW? ), or. Or you can decide that this delicious dish doesn’t have to be reserved only for Thanksgiving.

Classic Thanksgiving Side Dish or Dessert

This sweet potato casserole is a very unusual dessert. I have never seen it served in any other way than as a delicious side dish for Thanksgiving, to go with the turkey, mashed potatoes, gravy, green beans, and white dinner rolls. It’s a great flavor. You might like it more than the real dessert.

My mom has been cooking this recipe for years. She got it from a friend who had been making it years earlier. It is now a Thanksgiving staple.

Topping For Sweet Potato Casserole

I prefer to make my life as easy as possible. So I throw all the topping ingredients into my food processor and let it run until it forms that crumbly streusel topping we love.

Four simple ingredients are all you need.

• Pecans
• Flour
• Butter
• Brown sugar

We know that marshmallows are popular, but this crumbly, sweet, and nutty topping is unbeatable. The crunchiness of the topping perfectly balances out the fluffy mashed sweet potatoes. It’s just… WOW. We’ll convert you.

Sweet Potato Casserole Base Ingredients

It is just as simple to mix up the sweet potato mixture as it is to make a muffin.

Mix all the ingredients.

• Sweet potatoes (CANNED – which, I know, seems like a retro idea, but I’ve tried it with sweet potatoes that weren’t canned, and I found them too heavy to handle. Trust me.
• Eggs
• Butter
• Milk
• Sugar
• Vanilla
