One Potato, Two Potato, Sweet Potato Pecan Casserole!

We always go over to my mother’s house for Thanksgiving. When I was all grown up and moved out, it was officially my time to bring a dish for the table. I said right away that I would take care of the sweet potatoes and I did just that. But I didn’t want to bring the same old recipe. I found this recipe and everyone was so impressed and gobbled it right up! Since then everyone knows that if I am bringing a dish, then I am bringing Sweet Potato Pecan Casserole!

Check out what our friends from Buffalo Foodie have to say about this:

Everyone will love this recipe and will not even remember that there are not marshmallows!
