This casserole is a great make-ahead dish. I made it the day before Thanksgiving and it was still perfect the next day.

This sweet potato casserole was a hit at our Thanksgiving dinner! It was so easy to make and tasted delicious. The cranberries added a nice tartness that balanced out the sweetness of the potatoes.
