Baked Sweet Potato Casserole Recipe

Sweet Potato Casserole

Sweet potato casserole is a delicious dish that we love to enjoy during the holidays.  It is something you can make year round.  We seem to make it more when the sweet potatoes go on sale.

It is a great dish to bring to parties and events and family gatherings to serve with that delicious holiday turkey or ham.

We enjoy it at all our family holiday meals: Easter, Thanksgiving and again for Christmas.

The key to making this dish, is using cooked sweet potatoes.  These can be baked in the oven, slow cooker or microwaved and then used in this recipe.

Why Would You Prebake Them? 

Because sweet potatoes are almost as hard as rocks and take a long time to cook.  And they are worth the effort.

Make This Dish Ahead Of Time!

Our family is divided on the marshmallows, no marshmallows debate.  To make everyone happy, we put marshmallows on half of the dish.  You can opt to leave them off if your family doesn’t like them.

How Can I Make Sweet Potato Casserole Less Sweet?

Reduce the amount of brown sugar you are putting in the dish by half or eliminate it all together.

Can I Use Canned Sweet Potatoes Instead Of Fresh?

Yes, you can definitely use canned sweet potatoes. You may need to warm them up to mash them for this recipe.
