AWESOME SWEET POTATO CASSEROLE

This recipe was given to me in the late 1980s by Diane Thornton in Jackson Mississippi. I have made it each year since, and when I bring it to gatherings people rave about it, so I bring it year after year. Some people say it's more like a desert than a side dish. All I know is that it's a standby for me and always gets a nod.

Tips:

Use fresh sweet potatoes: Fresh sweet potatoes have a more vibrant flavor and texture than store-bought ones. If you can, try to find organic sweet potatoes, as they are typically more nutritious and flavorful.
Cook the sweet potatoes until they are tender: The sweet potatoes should be cooked until they are easily pierced with a fork. Overcooking the sweet potatoes will make them mushy and bland.
Use a variety of spices: Sweet potatoes can handle a variety of spices, so feel free to experiment. Some popular spices to use include cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, allspice, and cloves.
Don't be afraid to add sweetness: Sweet potatoes are naturally sweet, but you can add additional sweetness with brown sugar, maple syrup, or honey. Be careful not to add too much sweetness, as you don't want to overpower the other flavors in the casserole.
Top the casserole with a crunchy topping: A crunchy topping adds a nice contrast to the soft and creamy sweet potato filling. Some popular toppings include pecans, walnuts, breadcrumbs, or a combination of the three.

Conclusion:

Sweet potato casserole is a delicious and versatile side dish that can be enjoyed by people of all ages.
