Sweet Potato Casserole with Pecan Streusel | Festive Dinner Recipes
I remember the first time I tried sweet potato casserole it was in Washington DC at a Friendsgiving event during law school.
My friend topped his sweet potato casserole with marshmallows and although I tried valiantly I couldn't get over how overly sweet and mushy the marshmallows made the dish. To me melted marshmallows belong in s'mores and rice krispies.
When I started making sweet potato casseroles for my own Thanksgiving I decided to skip the marshmallows altogether and instead top my casserole with a nutty pecan crumble. I love how it provides a crunchy contrast to the creamy sweet potatoes in this classic holiday dish.
