Open in Pepper →Sweet potato casserole is the holiday side that walks the dessert line — brown sugar, butter, cinnamon, and either marshmallows or a pecan streusel on top.
Cooks on Pepper reach for this collection every November — Thanksgiving, Christmas, and any family dinner that wants a side nobody argues about.
Every recipe here starts with the same sweet potato base and takes it different directions — classic Southern, spicy, streusel-topped, or the marshmallow version that half the table considers dessert.
Roast, don't boil
Boiled sweet potatoes go watery — roast them whole and the sugar concentrates.
Salt the sweet
A real pinch of salt in the filling makes the sweetness taste like caramel instead of sugar.
Broil the marshmallows last
Broiler for 60 seconds under close watch — turn away and they burn.
Make it the day before
The casserole reheats better than it bakes fresh — free the oven on the holiday.
