Sweet Potato Casserole Recipe
Many years ago, I tasted this sweet potato casserole recipe for the first time and thought it was the most delicious combination of flavors I had ever tasted in a sweet potato casserole. For as long as I can remember, we have had a sweet potato casserole served with our holiday dinners, but this particular recipe was better, in my opinion, than the one I had eaten all of my life.
During the holidays, our family will often have more than one sweet potato casserole recipe being served. For one thing, we are a huge family and two recipes of anything is required for holiday meals. But in the case of the sweet potato casserole, we actually have some members of the family who prefer the original sweet potato casserole recipe and some who prefer this sweet potato casserole recipe.
The difference: This recipe has marshmallows on the top and the original sweet potato casserole recipe is topped with pecans.

Oops, that should be ‘marshmallows’ — can’t believe I misspelled a word! LOL.

This sounds really good! The favorite at our family holiday dinners is slightly different. I add pineapple to my recipe. The first time I saw it, I thought it was an odd combination but it is scrumptious! One year, I didn’t make it and both my grown daughters expressed their disappointment.
