Literally Mashed Sweet Potato Casserole

Sweet Potato… I mean I have to be honest I can’t get enough of it, and is something we eat regularly in this household!

There are so many ways to make it and when I was given this casserole recipe I know this would be my all time fav! Not only do we make it here for dinner but its becoming a habit that every holiday I am getting asked to bring it–its such a hit I think they would rather the casserole then me if they HAD to choose!

So I am going to share this recipe with you, and you can thank me later. I describe is as mashed sweet potato with the topping that tastes like a heavenly maple tart 🙂

FEEDBACK FROM EXTRA SPARKLES PLEASE

I always personally add in 1 cup of chopped pecans so its not more sugar in the topping then pecans, but do what I do…taste it. Who doesn’t need a sweet taste in their mouth while making this mouth watering dish!
