The BEST Sweet Potato Casserole
Last week I shared a delicious turkey recipe for your upcoming holiday meal. This week I am sharing a couple of sides and a dessert for your Thanksgiving dinner. This Praline Sweet Potato Casserole is a combination of a side dish and a dessert! Sweet potatoes topped with a yummy praline topping. OMG! SO good! It is definitely a new favorite in our house.
How to Make Praline Sweet Potato Casserole
This casserole is super easy to make. The hardest part is boiling the sweet potatoes. Cook the potatoes and mash them. Add heavy cream, eggs, brown sugar, vanilla, and pumpkin pie spice. Fold in pecans. Spread potato mixture into a baking dish. Top with brown sugar, sweetened condensed milk, melted butter, and vanilla; spoon over potato mixture. Cut through with a knife to swirl the sauce and bake.
- You can make this ahead of time and refrigerate overnight.
- If you don’t like sweet potatoes, you can substitute an equivalent amount of butternut squash.
- Is Sweet Potato Casserole gluten-free? Yes! All of the ingredients in this casserole are gluten-free.
- Can Sweet Potato Casserole be frozen? Yes! You can freeze the casserole before or after baking.
- To freeze after baking, cool completely. Cover with plastic wrap and aluminum foil and freeze. To reheat, thaw completely and reheat covered in the oven until warmed through,
- To freeze before baking, I suggest leaving off the topping. When ready to bake, thaw completely and add the praline topping and bake as directed.
