Sweet Potato Casserole

Homemade sweet potato casserole recipe with ooey gooey marshmallows, and a nice golden crumbly topping.

This Sweet Potato Casserole will be a holiday favorite!

This holiday season, it’s all about sweet potato recipes. Why? Because I can never get enough sweet potatoes on Thanksgiving and Christmas. Honey, I just love piling my plate with a nice healthy portion of sweet potato casserole. I swear I could eat a whole dish of it. In this post, I’m going to show you how I make my homemade sweet potato casserole. However, I will warn you- You’ll probably want to double this recipe during the holidays!

First things first. This is not a canned sweet potato casserole, I use freshly baked sweet potatoes for my recipe. I just like the taste of freshly baked sweet potatoes in my sweet potato casserole, but if you want to use canned you can! However, if you do use canned sweet potatoes make sure that you drain them.

Serve this Sweet Potato Casserole as a side or as dessert!

I spice up the sweet potatoes with a little cinnamon, nutmeg, and a dash of clove. The casserole has a delicious layer of marshmallows, and it’s topped with a crumply topping made of flour, sugar, and butter.

This sweet potato cobbler can be served as a side dish during the holidays, or as a dessert. Try it out for yourself!

  10. I made this for Thanksgiving 2018 for the 1st time. I did not add the marshmallows or crumb topping, but it was absolutely delicious. I was nervous about the maple syrup, but it really enhanced the flavor. This will be my “Go To” sweet potato casserole recipe.
