This sweet potato casserole was a HUGE hit at Thanksgiving. Its almost like a dessert in itself, but its sweet potato, so its healthy….right?? Hehe!! This will be a dish I make every Thanksgiving, maybe even Christmas too!!! The topping was my favorite part, but when you have marshmallows and brown sugar combined, of course that is the best!!

Enjoy!
