The Ultimate Sweet Potato Casserole

The Ultimate Sweet Potato Casserole
The recipe is for the Ultimate Sweet Potato Casserole that anyone can make. I have to come clean and say that up until now I did not like sweet potatoes. Something about the way they look, their texture and their flavor used to really weird me out. I’ve tried to enjoy them many different ways and it has always been a no go for me. Recently I was sent a bunch of sweet potatoes from my weekly produce delivery service and I needed to figure out what to do with them. Mister Tipsy on the other hand loves sweet potatoes so he was excited for me to create a recipe for him to enjoy. When I perused my pantry to see what I had on hand, the idea of The Ultimate Sweet Potato Casserole was born.
