Your sweet potato casserole recipe sounds delicious! My mom makes a sweet potato casserole, but with marshmallows and brown sugar on top, which is way too sweet for me. I think I’d love this recipe!
That’s always how I had it before Jenn and I wasn’t a big fan. There is something about this crunchy crust at the top with the pecans that just makes this dish amazing!
That looks super good. I am coming to your house for Thanksgiving. I pinned. 🙂
Haha you’re welcome, Sandra! Thank you for the pin. 🙂
Yummm! I’m definitely giving this a try!! Thanks for sharing! How many people would you say this serves?
Oh yay! I hope you love it as much as we do, Lisa! I think if they just have a normal sized serving, I would say 8. Hope that helps!
This sounds scrumptious. I LOVE sweet potato casserole for the holidays. I would love for you to stop by and share on my weekly recipe linky
Have a great day
This looks so delicious! Do you think if I prepared the filling mixture about 2 days in advance & kept the topping separate, I could bake it the day of?
Hi Nicole, I certainly think that would be fine! Good luck!
Help! For some reason your recipe for Sweet Potato Casserole is not giving the amount of flour or melted butter(for the topping). Please let me know I would love to make this for my family for Thanksgiving.
Sorry about that Landra, that’s so strange! It’s 1/3 cup flour and 1/3 cup butter, melted. Hope that helps and I hope your family enjoys it! Let us know!
I printed this recipe a few years ago to add to my holiday collection and I’ve made it every year since. When I pulled it out this year I noticed a note I had written on the page that said, “This is the perfect recipe.”
Ahhh, thank you for sharing that Patty! That’s so great to hear!
