This easy-to-make sweet potato casserole recipe has been in my family for many generations.
Easy To Make Sweet Potato Casserole
This sweet potato casserole is so easy to make. It does use canned yams instead of sweet potatoes that you have to prepare yourself.
It saves a ton of time and none of my family members have ever complained! It's as simple as heating them on the stovetop and adding simple ingredients.
It also has a streusel topping, mini marshmallows, and added honey to enhance the flavors in this already flavorful dish.

Great Traditional Side Dish
This sweet potato casserole is not only easy to make but it's a dish that is perfect for Holidays and even potlucks. It takes very little time to make and it's something that guests always expect to see at Holiday dinners (in my family anyway!).
You can also save cleanup time by using disposable foil trays to make and serve this in - no added dishes and no need to track your dish down later! It can also be changed to suit personal tastes by leaving the streusel topping and the mini marshmallows off or by leaving them on.
This recipe calls for honey and if you left it out it would still taste good. My grandmother always added honey to her casserole and my mother always does the same - it's really up to you!
It enhances the flavor of the dish, so you should at least try it!
