Southern Cast Iron Skillet Sweet Potato and Pecan Casserole

Submitted by TheDancingCook

"We went south for Thanksgiving this year and this was served at dinner. This is baked and served right in a cast iron skillet; you can use a 12 or 15 inch cast iron skillet. Scrumptious; it's a side dish and dessert all in one! Prep time does not include the cooking and mashing of the sweet potatoes."
