I don’t know about this recipe… Sweet potatoes and sugar? Seems kinda odd to me. I might stick with normal potatoes for my casseroles.
This recipe is amazing! The pecan topping really adds a nice crunch to the dish. I made it for Thanksgiving and everyone loved it!
This casserole was everything I hoped for! The sweetness was spot on and the pecans added a nice crunch. Highly recommend!
I’m glad you enjoyed it! I’m thinking of trying this recipe for Thanksgiving. Do you think it would work with walnuts instead of pecans?
Sounds good but why’s everyone raving about pecans? They’re just nuts, right? Can you really taste the difference?
I found it too sweet! I think I might reduce the sugar next time. Also, I used walnuts instead of pecans because that’s what I had.
I guess it really depends on personal taste! I like it a bit sweeter myself, but walnuts are a great swap! Hope it turns out good next time!
