We couldn't do Thanksgiving recipes without having a Simply Homemade option.  This delicious Sweet Potato Casserole recipe uses canned Sweet Potatoes instead of fresh which will saves a lot of time but definitely doesn't skimp on flavor. The mashed sweet potatoes are mixed with sugar, butter, milk and eggs and topped with a buttery pecan streusel topping. 

This classic Thanksgiving side dish is very easy to make and can be served as a side dish or dessert. These sweet potatoes are rich and creamy and there are so many healthy benefits of sweet potatoes so how can you go wrong? Sweet potatoes are a rich source of fiber and contain lots of vitamins and minerals including iron, calcium, selenium, B vitamins and vitamin C and the antioxidant beta-carotene.
