COUNTDOWN TO THANKSGIVING DINNER | DAY 6 OF 26

🍠 Sweet Potato Casserole with Brown Sugar Pecan Topping

If Thanksgiving had a scent, it might just be this — caramelized brown sugar, roasted pecans, and the creamy warmth of sweet potatoes baked to perfection. Sweet Potato Casserole is that comforting balance of savory and sweet, and every bite feels like fall wrapped in a cozy blanket.

Fun Fact: Sweet potatoes weren’t actually served at the first Thanksgiving! They became a holiday staple in the South in the 1800s when cooks began pairing them with sugar, spices, and—eventually—marshmallows. (And yes, that sweet-and-savory debate still divides families every November!)

Tradition Spotlight: Some families top theirs with marshmallows, others with a pecan crumble, and a few daring ones do both. Either way, it’s one of those dishes that’s gone before seconds are even served.
