Sweet Potato Casserole Recipe

I just love sweet potatoes and they are so healthy for you. This sweet potato casserole recipe dresses up that gorgeous orange vegetable with one of two toppings.

The traditional recipe for sweet potato marshmallow topping is here of course. Can't forget that.

But for those of you who want to try something a bit different, try our crumb topping with parmesan cheese. The taste combination is really delicious.

Either way, you can't beat this easy sweet potato casserole.

This casserole works wonderfully for entertaining too. It can be prepared earlier in the day, then just popped in the oven to reheat and brown the topping.

Preheat the oven to 350ºF.

Cut the sweet potato into chunks and boil in lightly salted water for about 15 minutes or until the pieces are tender. Drain and return to the saucepan.

Mash potatoes with a potato masher, adding the butter, milk and cinnamon. Season to taste with salt and pepper.

Spoon mashed sweet potatoes into a shallow 1 quart casserole and smooth the top. Add either of the toppings listed below. Bake in preheated oven for 20 minutes.

Perfect for baking and serving this pretty casserole set is tough. It is freezer to oven safe as well as microwave and dishwasher safe. Durable and superb resistance to chips, stains and cracks. sengWare 2-pc. proGrade Casserole & Lasagna Dish Set, Pomello
