Sweet Potato Casserole: A Thanksgiving Family Favorite

One of my all time Thanksgiving favorites, as well as my families, is a sweet potato casserole. I have had many sweet potatoes casseroles in my day and this is far and above the best I have ever tasted. I have never been to fond of canned sweet potatoes thrown in a casserole dish with marshmallows slightly burned on top. Thanks, but no thanks! So this Thanksgiving I will prepare my favorite sweet potato casserole. I am telling you, this one is a keeper.
