The Best Sweet Potato Casserole Recipe Ever
Sweet potato casserole is a classic holiday dish. It may even be your favorite! There are a lot of different ways to make it too, but this is hands down the best sweet potato casserole recipe EVER. Try it and we bet you’ll agree!
I made this dish for a family gathering of about 30 people. I only made one pan because I knew of several who weren’t fans of “sweet potatoes”. Well, they have never had this. It was passed around the table and was pretty much gone by the time I got it. By that time some of the little ones were already asking for seconds!
So if you want to have the most popular dish at all of your family gatherings, you’ve got to try this sweet potato casserole. The marshmallows, pecans and the sugar really come together to create the perfect, delicious topping.
One of the reasons this recipe is so tasty is because it’s been a long time work in progress. I’ve combined a few recipes over the years and found a perfect balance. Yummy! Thanksgiving is not Thanksgiving without the sweet potatoes and this sweet potato casserole is the best I have ever had. Make it. You can thank me later.
The Best Thing About This Sweet Potato Casserole
What I love most about this sweet potato casserole recipe is that it is so easy to throw together! You probably have everything on hand already (except for sweet potatoes, pecans, and marshmallows) which is super convenient. On top of that, this recipe only takes about 15-minutes of prep. How great is that?
After you get the ingredients put together simply pop it in the oven for 30-minutes and you’re good to go. If you wanted to, you could even prep this recipe the night before, leave it in the fridge, and then bake it the next day.
Speaking of keeping things in the fridge, this sweet potato casserole makes for some great leftovers. However, you’ll be lucky to even have any actually left over because it will probably all get eaten!

This brings back so many great memories of my grandmother who always made sweet potato casserole at Christmas each year. I can’t wait to try this recipe out!
About how many whole sweet potatoes equals 4 cups of cubed sweet potato?
I linked to this post in my thrifty Thanksgiving recipes post. Thanks!
I can’t find the link for the 4 cups of sweet potatoes. Is it 4lbs or 4 cups diced? If its 4 cups diced, that seems small given the 9×13 pan.
Candice, according to Google, 1 pound of sweet potatoes equals about 3 medium whole sweet potatoes… which would be 3/5-4 cups chopped sweet potatoes. So for this recipe, you’d need about 12 medium sweet potatoes… or 14-16 cups peeled, chopped sweet potatoes). This amount of sweet potatoes will make 8 cups mashed. Good luck!
How do I make it eggless and still keep the recipe delicious? Any suggestions to replace egg??
I know you can use chia seeds as an egg substitute… here is something I’ve done before: https://www.foodrenegade.com/how-make-egg-substitute-chia-seeds/
Could I use canned sweet potatoes instead of fresh?
You can try. I’ve never tried it myself. The real ones just seem so much better! Good luck! Let us know! 🙂
I know this probably isn’t check very often since this recipe has been here forever, but I had to comment because this recipe has been a staple in our house for holiday meals for the last decade. It’s absolutely the most delicious and what I get the most comments on every Thanksgiving and Christmas. My 16 year old daughter wrote on one of her Thanksgiving papers back when she was in 2nd grade that this was her favorite part of the Thanksgiving meal. All that to say, it’s superb!
So glad to hear it, Carole! Thanks for the review!
