Easy Sweet Potato Casserole with Pecan Crunch

If you’re looking for a new dish to try for Christmas dinner this year or just to have a yummy comfort food on these cold winter evenings, you’ll want to try out this easy Sweet Potato casserole with a crunchy pecan topping . This recipe is fairly different from the typical Sweet Potato recipes you might see at a holiday dinner. I have never been a fan personally of the sweet potato dish with marshmallow topping and for years as a kid, I wasn’t willing to try my mom’s Sweet Potato dish that she always makes every year. But just a few years ago, I finally decided to try her Sweet Potato dish and knew right then that I had been missing out all those years.

I love that this Sweet Potato casserole has a crunchy topping of pecans on top of the yummy goodness of the sweet potato filling, which is what makes it more unique and just adds to the flavor!
