mimi’s sweet potato casserole recipe

I love hearing about people’s favorite Thanksgiving dishes- it is one of those topics that yields passionate and diverse responses.

Sweet potato casserole (and specifically, Adam’s Mimi’s sweet potato casserole) holds my top spot. It’s the perfect combination of side dish + dessert. And it’s topped with a generous sprinkling of coconut, and coconut always woos me.

If you don’t have a go-to sweet potato casserole recipe (and you have a sweet tooth like me), try this one. Seriously. It isn’t the healthiest recipe I’ve ever shared, but the extra yumminess is totally worth it (sorry mom!).
