Struessel Topped Sweet Potato Casserole

Struessel Topped Sweet Potato Casserole - A Pinch of Joy

Sweet potato casserole is good anytime of year . Dressed up, it’s the perfect accompaniment to any holiday meal. This sweet potato recipe has no marshmallows. Just a crunchy Struesel topping to contrast with the deep sweet potato flavor! No sweet, sticky marshmallows fans in our house 🙂

Cook and mash the sweet potatoes before measuring. If you are in a hurry (or can’t get fresh sweet potatoes, as they are not always available), use a 40 ounce can and drain before mashing. If you use yams, remember they are a bit sweeter than sweet potatoes so you might want to reduce the sugar a bit. You can add coconut to the topping of this traditional dish.  I usually don’t, but when I made this I had a bit of coconut hanging out and lonely in the pantry.  So I added it.   Baking time will vary a bit depending on the size and depth of your casserole pan. I use a 9×13 glass baking dish because it makes serving easier for pot lucks, but a casserole pan is nicer looking for family style! A light sprinkle of nutmeg across the top before sliding into the oven adds a bit of color and notches up the flavor a bit – optional.  This can be made ahead and refrigerated for a day before baking. It also reheats well – or you may even like it cold!
