Sweet potato casserole is one of those classic Thanksgiving sides that everyone has come to expect around the table. Traditionally it is made sweet to a point that it could almost pass as dessert. If this is your kind of sweet potato casserole, I’ve got you covered. However, if this is not your cup of tea, because you aren’t down with a side dish that could pass as a dessert, I also have you covered. I created a savory twist on the classic sweet potato casserole and I can tell you that you are going to love serving this dish up alongside that gorgeous turkey. My savory chipotle sweet potato casserole with a sourdough sage pecan bread crumb topping is sure to have your friends and family delighted this holiday season.
You know what my favorite thing about a recipe is? I love that it can be carried down from generation to generation keeping family traditions and loved ones alive. For me, I think that's why I love cooking so much. I have very early memories of helping my mom in the kitchen absorbing every bit of information that she would give me. There was always so much love in her food, which is probably why my friends loved coming to our house so much. Still to this day she loves feeding people, like literally nothing makes her happier than having a house full of guests that she can serve a delicious meal to! I definitely inherited this same love from her, and she inherited it from her mom. My mom-mom's sweet potato casserole is one of those recipes that we make every Thanksgiving without fail because it's tradition but also because it's just absolutely delicious!
