My Favorite Thanksgiving Dish… Sweet Potato Casserole

Everyone has their own favorite dish for Thanksgiving… mine is the sweet potato casserole.

My mother in law is usually in charge of making this dish, but she shared her recipe with me so I can make it at home as well.

This sweet potato casserole uses pecans as the topping instead of marshmallows.

The recipe follows. What’s your favorite Thanksgiving dish?
