Sweet Potato Casserole

 

This delicious sweet potato and pecan casserole is a definite nutritional upgrade from the high sugar, marshmallow-topped variety. It has quickly become our family favorite. We always make a double batch to enjoy as leftovers, as it is usually the first side dish to go! Simplify Thanksgiving by preparing a day in advance, just keep covered and refrigerated, ready to bake for the next day.
