This easy and delicious sweet potato casserole dish is the perfect Thanksgiving side dish that everyone will love.
For the last few years, I have been making this super easy, delicious sweet potato casserole for my in-laws for Thanksgiving. This recipe always gets rave reviews, and it’s one where, by the end of the day, there are no leftovers. One thing I really love about this recipe is that you mix the salty pecan topping and the marshmallows. That way, if someone prefers the salty, they can have that, or if they like the sweet, they can have that too. If you’re like me, you get a little bit of both on your plate. If you are looking for the best sweet potato casserole recipe, this is it!
NOTE: The recipe in the pictures is for a half batch. I made this recipe for just my family and thought that the full recipe would be too much for us. So if you are confused by the amount in the pictures, that’s why.

How To Make This Sweet Potato Casserole
