Easy Sweet Potato Casserole

Easy Sweet Potato Casserole

Holidays are the best time for learning new recipes and incorporating new traditions into your families routine! Every year for Thanksgiving since I was old enough to cook, I have been requested to make my infamous “Sweet Potato Casserole”. So I figured why not share the deliciousness that my family so much enjoys!

Now I will preface with the fact that I typically do not measure my ingredients because I was taught to cook on intuition so I tried my best to guesstimate on the amounts of the ingredients! Some tweaking may be necessary for personal preferences. But I’ve always been told to “season to taste” by my family who taught me to cook.

Now typically I am a baker, I just LOVE making tasty treats so its no wonder that I mastered a “sweet” dish. If you try my recipe and like it, please share and let me know!! If you are on Instagram hashtag #jssweetpots so I can see your creations!
