Sweet Potato Casserole

"This is a wonderful alternative to the typical marshmallow sweet potato casserole. I made it for Thanksgiving and my husband, who hates sweet potato casserole, couldn't get enough. I wanted to have more instead of pumpkin pie. A much more natural flavor than the kind with marshmallows (which I also like)."

  1. This was sooooo good, and easy too. I used a large can of yams. I drained and mashed them and then followed the recipe exactly. I did end up only using half of the topping and it was just right. I made this at Thanksgiving and then my family requested it for Christmas too. This recipe is here to stay! Thanks.
     
  2. Wow! Great dish, easy to make, an excellent variation on a family favorite.
     
  3. This was very nice. I really liked the pecans on top, but I thought the cinnamon and vanilla made it taste a little like pumpkin pie. An easy-to-make and nice addition to a festive meal!
     
  4. What a hit!!! I made a double batch for Thanksgiving and the cassorole was empty after the meal. Will definitely make this again
     
  5. Not a known dish here in NZ but that may change after the positive comments I got from our guests here on Christmas Day. Very tasty and the pecan topping definitely made it for me.

I live in Omaha NE and am an audiologist at Boys Town National Research Hospital. I love to cook, as does my husband Michael. In the summer, we have a large garden and try to use alot of fresh fruits/veggies in our cooking. We have a 5 year old daughter, Kate and almost 2 year old son Sam and enjoy introducing them to new foods. One of their favorites is fresh pesto smeared on crackers!
