Leftovers
Leftover casserole can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to four days. When reheating, only warm up the amount you want to eat in that sitting. Leftovers should only be warmed up once. Reheat them covered in either the microwave or the oven. As with all recipes, use your best discretion when it comes to leftovers. If you are like me and have to travel for Thanksgiving where you love to bring something to add to the meal and are obsessed with sweet potatoes, then you are definitely going to want to buckle in for today’s recipe. It will pair perfectly with your holiday turkey. This Sweet Potato Casserole Recipe is full of delicious flavor that will capture the heart of sweet potato lovers and non-lovers alike. In addition to that, it can be made almost completely ahead of time, making it perfect for the traveling holiday goers. And before we jump into the Marshmallow vs. Pecan debate, I just want you to know that toppings are something I hold near and dear to my heart. So I have you covered either way.
Use a large sharp knife. Put a wet paper towel under your cutting board so it doesn’t slip. After peeling, quarter the potato. This will give you smaller pieces to work with.
You could skip all of the dicing by using roasted sweet potatoes or slow cooker sweet potatoes. Read more on this below. You can roast the potatoes the day before, store them the refrigerator and then put the casserole together the day of, adding five extra minutes to the baking time. Another great option would be to make them in the crock pot. You can find instructions for that in my post Crock Pot Sweet Potatoes. When using roasted sweet potatoes or crock pot sweet potatoes, skip the boiling the potatoes and start with just blending the potatoes with the other ingredients.
Homemade Stuffing: I could eat just this on Thanksgiving and be very happy. Easy Cranberry Sauce: It’s so simple the kids can make it. Green Bean Casserole: This recipe is completely from scratch, so much better than the version you are used to, and is still really simple. Pumpkin Pie: This recipe comes with a fool proof crust recipe. You definitely need to try it and show off what an amazing baker you are, even a novice can make this.
