Sweet Potato Casserole is my absolutely favorite side dish in the world. That’s probably because it’s more of a dessert than a side dish. But it’s always served as a side (at least at dinners I’ve attended). We’ve got sweet potatoes whipped with sugar, butter, and vanilla. They’re covered with buttery, sugary, crunchy pecan topping and baked to perfection.

I never actually ate a sweet potato until I was an adult. My first sweet potato experience was an apple and sweet potato side dish. It was all right…but I wasn’t overly impressed. Husband wanted sweet potatoes for a holiday and I said I would make them if we could try them a different way. Then I ran across this concept. Well, is there anything that can’t butter and sugar can’t improve? After some adjustments…my favorite Southern Sweet Potato Casserole.
