Thanksgiving is almost here! I got a request to share a sweet potato casserole recipe, and it just so happens my Aunt Marcia makes the most delicious sweet potato casserole. This might be a controversial statement, but I don’t like marshmallows on sweet potatoes. This casserole has a crunchy brown sugar streusel topping, that imho does not need any marshmallows added to it.. but feel free to throw some on there if that’s your style!

What’s your favorite Thanksgiving dish? My dad usually smokes a turkey, which I love, but I’m pretty much a sides gal. Gimme some sweet potato casserole and brussels sprouts and I’m happy! You can check out some of my favorite Thanksgiving recipes here.
