This is the ULTIMATE loaded sweet potato casserole recipe! This is one of the best Thanksgiving side dish recipes because it tastes SO good!
Some co-workers shared this recipe with me years ago and I’ve taken it to many family gatherings since.
Loaded Sweet Potato Casserole
A big Thanksgiving or Christmas meal just isn’t complete without special treats like this loaded sweet potato casserole. I wasn’t even a fan of sweet potatoes until I tried this recipe. It’s that good!
The sweet and creamy sweet potatoes couldn’t get any better until you add this delectable, crumbly butter, brown sugar, and pecan topping that tastes like candy when it’s baked.
Our family is split on whether to use the pecans in the crumbly, candy topping or leave them out. Whatever your preference, that’s a pretty easy change to make and it won’t affect the overall taste of the dish.
My husband’s family has a similar Sweet Potato Souffle recipe where they use walnuts on top. My mom prefers to use a glaze in her Citrus Glazed Sweet Potato Casserole. All of these recipes are super delicious and make sweet potatoes taste even better!
Knowing that food safety is very important to keep in mind when preparing big meals I keep the mashed potatoes warm and at a safe temperature while doing my other work. Adding a little extra milk and butter will help the potatoes hold and stay moist if needed.
We also like this recipe because we mashed some extra potatoes to keep aside and feed the baby. She is just starting to eat food and it is messy and fun! Feeding her these sweet potatoes reminded me that it might be time to pick up a mat to protect our rug and wood floor.
The pictures don’t do this recipe justice. You’ve really got to try it for yourself!
