Is it even Thanksgiving dinner<\/a> without a dish of sweet potato casserole with pecans on the table? This traditional dish is one of the most anticipated of the season, and for good reason: Made of tender, mashed sweet potatoes and plenty of butter, cream and sugar, it’s a\u00a0scrumptious cross between a sweet dessert and a savory side dish. <\/span>While our recipe for sweet potato casserole with pecans doesn’t include the classic marshmallow topping (we’ve swapped it for a buttery brown sugar and pecan topping), you can easily add a layer of mini marshmallows on top if you’d like.<\/p>\n Preheat the oven to 325\u00b0F. In a large bowl, beat the sweet potatoes, sugar, eggs, milk, butter, salt and vanilla until smooth. Transfer to a greased 2-quart baking dish.<\/p>\n In a small bowl, combine the brown sugar, pecans and flour, then cut in the cold butter until the mixture is crumbly. Sprinkle the topping over the sweet potato mixture.<\/p>\n Bake the casserole, uncovered, until a thermometer reads 160\u00b0, 45 to 50 minutes.<\/p>\n Store any leftover casserole in airtight containers in the fridge. It will stay good for two to three days.<\/p>\n Yes, you can. Prepare the filling and topping without combining them. Refrigerate both, and wait to sprinkle on the topping until right before you bake the casserole.<\/p>\n We’d recommend peeling the potatoes, yes. The skins can be tough and affect the overall texture of this casserole.<\/p>\n We love making a savory version of this casserole with homemade bread crumbs<\/a> instead of sugary pecans, and Parmesan, cream and fresh herbs in place of the sugar, milk and vanilla extract.<\/p>\n Since this casserole is pretty hearty, we recommend serving it with a leafy green salad and some roasted veggies, or alongside your traditional Thanksgiving side dishes<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" This creamy, comforting sweet potato casserole with pecans is such a treat, it could almost be served as dessert.

So much so that he informed me he didn\u2019t want his previously favorite dessert if he had to choose when it came time good Christmas dinner.
