Did you grow up eating sweet potato casserole on Thanksgiving Day? Tyler and I were talking about it the other day, and we both realized neither one of us ever had sweet potato casserole on the table growing up. In fact, I don’t think either one of us had even tried a sweet potato until we were adults. When I did finally try sweet potato casserole it was the super sweet version covered in marshmallows. And I can tell you what, my relationship with sweet potato casserole started and ended with just 1 bite! (Please ignore me if you grew up with this version and love it. I know so many people who absolutely love the marshmallow version!) So of course there’s never been a sweet potato casserole recipe around here. Until this year of course because I discovered a whole new kind of casserole without any marshmallows! Turns out that all along there’s been this other version with a crunchy caramelized pecan topping I’ve been missing out on. An ultra creamy sweet potato layer topped with caramelized pecans… well that’s the kind of sweet-savory combination I can get on board with.
