My family may be one of ten who really doesn't like the marshmallowy, brown sugary cloying sweetness of most sweet potato casseroles. So if you would like a more savory approach, read on. If you like this recipe, so others on my website: http://mybestcookbook.wordpress.com

Blue Ribbon Recipe

If you don't like a super sweet sweet potato casserole, consider making this side dish for the holidays. Orange and pecans add just enough sweetness. Pecans sprinkled on top become toasted while baking. They add a bit of nuttiness and crunch. This sweet potato casserole is more on the savory side and filled with spice from the nutmeg.
