When I realized how easy it is to make Mashed Sweet Potatoes, I knew I had to take them to the next level with this delicious Sweet Potato Casserole!
Doing the mashed sweet potatoes is the hardest part… and you can use your electric mixer for that! Just peel the sweet potatoes, chop them into chunks, and boil them until they are soft. (I like a pot like this one to easily boil and drain the potatoes.) Then drain the sweet potatoes and put them in your mixer. Add a few more ingredients (details in the recipe card below), and you’re done!
You will want to grease the pan a little bit before you put the sweet potatoes in. A quick spray with your favorite cooking spray will do the trick.
While the sweet potatoes are cooking, mix up the simple topping. After 30 minutes, add the topping and pop the casserole back in the oven. Let the toppings get browned and beautiful, and you’re ready to eat!
Enjoy!
