My family has the traditional Italian Christmas so I thought I throw the family off and bring this casserole. My father is a big major food critic in our family and he loved it. My mom is a sweet potato lover and will basically eat them just plainly baked. My family never really had this before so it was great new addition. Since we have American additions to our family through marriage we had to tweak our Christmas dinner. This recipe is awesome & the kids love it! I am a new lover of sweet potatoes & I wanted to try to make a casserole so I did this receipe. It turned out great however the pecan streusal was way too much so next time I think I will half it and use it sparingly, I also think this would just be great with the marshmallows on top or even by itself. But the marshmallows is always good presentation. I also used a half cup of sugar which was plenty of sugar for it and I used a tad bit more of vanilla. I will definitely use this recipe over and over again. The sweet potato part was creamy, perfectly sweetened with the half cup of sugar and it was fluffy and light. Thanks for sharing this awesome recipe!!!!
