This is my go-to Thanksgiving and Friendsgiving recipe. It is simple to make, makes enough for a crowd, and is easy to put together! I made it three times this year and heard good reviews at each gathering I made it for.


When I was a child I always looked forward to the sweet potato casserole each year. It was and is my current favorite! What is your favorite Thanksgiving recipe? I hope this will soon be your favorite. It truly is a classic!
