SWEET POTATO CRUNCH CASSEROLE



Sweet Potato Crunch Casserole image

There are many wonderful sweet potato casseroles on this site. After searching every way I knew how, I could find recipes with coconut, recipes with pineapple, and recipes with the pecan topping, but not a single one with all three. So here is the recipe my Mom has made for Holiday meals as long as I can remember. It is so sweet, my Dad sometimes saves it for dessert! This is NOT a light version! If you wish, use the drained pineapple juice and add a couple of Tablespoons of heavy cream or milk instead of 1/2 cup milk.

Tips:

  • Use fresh sweet potatoes: Fresh sweet potatoes have a better flavor and texture than store-bought mashed sweet potatoes.
  • Cook the sweet potatoes until they are very tender: This will ensure that they are easy to mash and will create a smooth and creamy casserole.
  • Use a good quality brown sugar: Dark brown sugar has a more intense flavor than light brown sugar, which will give your casserole a richer taste.
  • Don't overmix the casserole: Overmixing will make the casserole tough. Just mix until the ingredients are well combined.
  • Bake the casserole until the top is golden brown and the center is set: This will ensure that the casserole is cooked through.

Conclusion:

Sweet potato crunch casserole is a delicious and easy-to-make side dish that is perfect for any occasion. It is a great way to use up leftover sweet potatoes, and it can also be made ahead of time. With its sweet and crunchy topping, this casserole is sure to be a hit with everyone at your table.
