Praline Topped Sweet Potato Casserole

This is a dish that has become a family tradition for Thanksgiving, Christmas, Easter, or next Tuesday. Lol! It’s really a fantastic sensation with the velvety smooth sweet potatoes, and the crunch of the coconut and pecans. It really is SIN-sational.

This recipe was shared with me from a friend 25 years ago.  I’ve made a few revisions since then.  I have made this many times over the years and it works every time.
