After searching the internet far and wide for a sweet potato casserole recipe fit for a first-time-sweet-potato-cook I landed upon this one and I am glad I did! It's easy to follow and makes a a lot! Way more than I needed (not realizing how many members of my family aren't fans of sweet potatoes. Fine, more for me!). Thankfully it makes for good leftovers. I believe I'll be using this recipe again in the future.

I made this last night for the first time for a family gathering. Everyone loved it.

I made this last holiday season and forgot to review it. It is fantastic! My entire family loved it and requested it at our next family gathering. I love the seperate toppings because it gives people a choice! My family loved that and most tried both! I will be making it again this holiday season!

This is the sweet potato casserole my family requests that I make every Thanksgiving, and I've been making it for years! I just decided to finally write a review. The only change I make is to put the pecan streusel topping on the entire casserole, rather than putting marshmallows on half. The pecan streusel topping is my family's favorite part!
