Grandma Deane's Sweet Potato Casserole Recipe
A Holiday Favorite
This recipe is a family favorite. My mother-in-law has been making this casserole every holiday since she can remember. Before I knew her, I was a sweet potato and marshmallow lover. Since I have had this, We make it at our house virtually every holiday, and sometimes just because. It seems to go well with just about any main dish. It is a tasty change from the classic sweet potatoes covered in marshmallows.
When we have company over, they always ask for the recipe. Maybe this will save me from writing it out this week. Hope you enjoy it! One other thing, I have tried it with other brands of evaporated milk, and this usually results in some of the family thinking there is something wrong, or different about the recipe. It is a small detail, but the brand seems to matter.
Getting ready to make it again this Thanksgiving. and hope any others that try it enjoy it like we do.
Happy Holidays!
