Luxury Sweet Potato Casserole

(Microwave Recipe)

Delicious Side Dish

The well-known sweet potato casserole has its origin in America.  Now, during a time of thanksgiving or just about any other time of the year, this is a fantastic recipe to have ready.  I call it my Luxury Sweet Potato Casserole, as I add a little bit extra of my favorite stuff.  Just try it…

At the ‘end of the month’ I leave out the pineapple and walnuts, mix in a little bit of syrup, and it still tastes great.

MY TIPS for a fabulous sweet potato casserole:

  • I love using the orange fleshed sweet potatoes, but you can use any type of sweet potato or yams.
  • Mini marshmallows works just as well.
