Blue Ribbon Recipe

This sweet potato side dish is destined to be on your Thanksgiving table. This elevated version of a sweet potato casserole may not win a beauty contest, but it's a different way to prepare sweet potatoes during the holidays. The sweet potatoes are tender, and the consistency is similar to a pudding. We loved the addition of nuts for crunch and used pecans. Best of all, it's easy to prepare, which is essential during the holidays.
