This is similar to a recipe I've been using for over 30 years that I found in an old cookbook from Colonial Williamsburg. The only difference is that I add orange zest and Grand Mariner. It's a tradition every Christmas and Thanksgiving. I double the recipe on Thanksgiving and freeze the rest for Christmas. One less thing to make so I can relax.

One thing that's always impressed me - and sends chills down my spine - are John's knife skills.

He's always looking at the camera while he chops. Next level.

Great video. I love the comments section where viewers offer their own suggestions for additives.

I made this for Thanksgiving against my husbands wishes. It was great. Everyone loved it including the husband. Keep em coming.

For my topping I use toasted coconut and Praline Pecans chopped and chopped pretzels, the textures and flavors are just amazing.

I definitely would love to see videos about how to properly chop/prep 😄 I can’t wait to make this casserole for my family!

Best recipe ever; four years in a row on our table for Thanksgiving Day.

I made this for Thanksgiving. I followed the recipe exactly using the baked potato method. Fantastic and the star side dish. The texture was smooth and not runny or too thick. The topping was amazing. Thanks so much for making this recipe available.

Try roasting the sweet potatoes in the oven no peeling them is needed and the result is game changer they won’t get watery and the sweetness comes out like almost jam, I tried boiling them before that was ok but since I ‘been roasting them for years now never went back

I love sweet potato casserole the best my family eats it up

Toasted pecans and brown butter are worth the extra effort. You can taste the mixture before adding eggs. I bake mine in individual ramekins.

Made this for Thanksgiving with baked the sweet potatoes. I didn't add the white sugar to the potatoes so it wasnt quite as sweet. It was the hit of the dinner. I will make this everytime!!!!

I’m an overachiever. I make three different vanilla variations.

1. Using vanilla
2. Using bourbon
3. Using rum

I make both a bourbon and a rum cake so I like the “special” vanilla for those.

I also make a fourth with coffee and cacao beans. Lovely in brownies or coffee.

Made this today!! Yum

Baked in the air fryer and there was a crunch to the crumble that was amazing !

[susanmiller]

I make a very similar recipe each holiday. I bake the sweet potatoes and use an electric mixer. This year I'm going to try it like you did, using a masher and mix by hand. Looks delicious.

Perfect timing, thank you John! I was wondering what to make for a vegetarian pot luck get together and I will make this now. Looks delicious! Not sure you have this recipe in your first cookbook which I bought, will check later!

My mom makes this with rum every year at Thanksgiving. It’s SO good!
