4Rivers Sweet Potato Casserole Recipe

For many, a sweet potato dish is a must during a holiday meal. Some serve it roasted with marshmallows on top. Others create a baked sweet potato bar with all the fixin’s. Chef John Rivers created a Sweet Potato Casserole recipe that includes brown sugar, cinnamon, ginger and nutmeg to put a little sweetness on the dinner table. Top it off with chopped pecans for crunch and you have yourself a side dish disguised as a dessert.

  • ¼ teaspoon nutmeg
  • 1 cup pecans, coarsely chopped
