For the past several years I have been making this sweet potato casserole for Thanksgiving because it is my favorite sweet potato casserole. However, this year I decided to try a new one. I felt this new one was similar to my favorite but with the added yumminess of marshmallows.
The results were a delicious casserole that has now left me with the hard decision of which one is my favorite and which one to make next year for Thanksgiving. Since making decisions is not my strong suit it is good that I have about a year to make this decision.
