Sweet Potato Casserole Recipe Pecans

I’ve loved sweet potatoes since birth. They’re rich in flavor and add such beautiful color to your plate. They’re one of my go-to comfort foods because they’re easy to store and super easy to bake.

Last week, my husband surprised me with a whole basket of sweet potatoes he’d purchased from Cooks Farm. –Yep, he knows what makes me happy–and I couldn’t wait to peel a few so I could bake us a sweet potato casserole.

Now I call our sweet potato casserole recipe pecans galore because the topping is full of chopped pecans. And, well, I love pecans with basically everything. There is something about topping a sweet potato with pecans that gives it such a traditional holiday flavor, so I always serve this as a Thanksgiving side dish and also a Christmas side dish, too.

Did you know sweet potatoes come in several varieties? Their color can range from an off-white to purple and they’re taste can vary from tangy to sweet. 

These sweet potatoes were gorgeous! With a beautiful copper skin, I knew they’d be perfect. And their deep orange flesh created a wonderful start to my casserole.

Using basic staples from your pantry, this dish will easily become a go-to favorite at your house. And the topping can be divided and stored in the refrigerator for later, to use as a crunchy extra for another sweet treat.

I’ve included the recipe for how I like to make it at the bottom of this post. Feel free to pin for later or print out your own copy to include with your Thanksgiving recipes or other fall favorites this year.
