Sweet Potato Casserole With Pecan Topping

NeedTaste | January 10, 2022

What a fantastic sweet potato casserole recipe. There is not a lot of sugar or seasonings in the sweet potato part, so the flavor of the potatoes shines. It's made with canned sweet potatoes, but fresh could easily be substituted. The sweetness comes into the recipe with the crunchy pecan topping. Sweet and rich, it's just right spread on top. The topping does make this a bit rich so a small serving goes a long way. A divine addition to your holiday feast.. I always go to this recipe for holidays. It's so simple and delicious. I wouldn't post this if it wasn't amazing. The topping gives it a a sweetness and a crunch with the pecans, it's wonderful. I have many who ask for recipe when I bring it to gatherings. A tried and true recipe.
