For an extra layer of flavor, try adding a pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg to the sweet potato mixture. To prevent the pecan topping from burning, you can tent the casserole with foil during the last 15 minutes of baking. The casserole can be prepared ahead of time and refrigerated for up to 24 hours before baking. Add about 10-15 minutes to the baking time if baking from cold. If you prefer a smoother texture, you can use an electric mixer to mash the sweet potatoes.

Jul 14, 2023I've tried other sweet potato casserole recipes before, but this one is by far the best. The addition of vanilla extract really enhances the flavor.
