Creamy sweet potatoes covered in a delicious, crunchy butter-pecan-sugar topping, this delectable side dish will become a family favorite in your household for years to come! I’ve been making this recipe for 28+ years, and we love it because we prefer our sweet potato casserole to be only lightly sweetened. Many recipes I’ve come across use too much maple syrup for our liking, so when a co-worker came in to our potluck with this dish, I asked if I could write down her recipe. I believe she said it came from her grandmother and, well, who am I to argue with Grandma?
Since we have about 17+ people coming for Thanksgiving, I like to use our Stone Rectangular Baker With Tray, this way I can cover it with the tray whilst baking, and then use the warmed tray to serve my buttermilk biscuits afterwards!
Here’s some info:
Stoneware Baker With an All-in-One Lid, Cooking Tray, and Serving Tray!
The Stone Rectangular Baker With Tray offers the best of both worlds. The Stone Rectangular Baker and Stone Serving Tray combine the amazing cooking surface and heat retention of our unglazed stoneware with the beauty of our fully glazed stoneware. You can take both the baker and serving tray straight from the microwave, oven, or freezer to your table. When you’re not using it as a lid, the Stone Serving Tray can be used to bake cookies, cook veggies, serve food, or store leftovers in the fridge!
