Sweet Potato Casserole
Sweet Potato Casserole is a staple in southern cuisine in my opinion! We have this pretty much on every special holiday, like Thanksgiving, Christmas, Easter, the list goes on and on. But it is definitely a tried and true recipe and it is always the perfect side dish for those special meals and occasions! Plus, it’s really easy to make and only requires a handful of ingredients, most of which you probably already have in your pantry!
You don’t need too many ingredients for this recipe and it is fairly simple to make. You of course need sweet potatoes, sugar, milk, eggs, brown sugar, vanilla, chopped pecans, flour, and butter- lots of butter! Can’t be a southern recipe without a lot of butter right?!
This sweet potato casserole recipe has been handed down from generation to generation in our family, just like my Broccoli Casserole recipe too. I always remember my Meme making this, and then my mom, and now I make it all the time too! I just love recipes with a good history like that.
I usually make this for my husband’s side of the family now. Especially when we all get together for Thanksgiving and Christmas. It is the perfect side dish and definitely goes so well with turkey and ham! It’s honestly more like dessert since there is so much butter and sugar in it too. But in reality, dessert is my favorite part of any meal so that is probably why I like this recipe so much!
Be sure to add the milk with your eggs mixed in, that way the hot sweet potatoes don't cook the eggs!
Bake at 350 for 35 minutes and that's it!
