It is satisfying to sweet potatoes! I make Roasted Sweet Potatoes every week, Sweet Potato Burrito Bowls are a reliable veggie meal, and my kids always want Ground Turkey Sweet Potato Skillet.

We have sweet potato casserole for every holiday—and sometimes just when I’m craving it!

This recipe is a winner. It’s great for summer since I don’t need the oven, and reliable for holidays when the oven is busy with Roasted Vegetables or Thanksgiving Dressing.

This recipe includes potatoes, eggs, salt, butter, evaporated milk, orange, sugar, and vanilla.

Recipe Tips

Texture: If you like a chunkier texture, lightly mash the sweet potatoes instead of beating them until smooth.
Switch nuts: Swap out pecans for walnuts or even a mix of nuts for a different crunch.
Flavor boost: Add some pumpkin pie spice for a fun Fall flavor.
Make ahead: Make the casserole the night before, but skip the crumble. Cover and put it in the fridge. Keep the crumble in a sealed bag in the fridge. The next day, add the crumble and cook in the slow cooker.

All the filling ingredients are mixed together, and the topping is combined separately.
