A Thanksgiving favorite! This can be prepared the day before and refrigerated. Add 15 minutes to the cooking time if cold when placed in the oven.

Blue Ribbon Recipe

Canned pineapple adds a tropical twist to this sweet potato casserole recipe. Filled with warm spices, these pineapple sweet potatoes are a delicious side dish for Thanksgiving or Christmas. Do not skip out on the mini marshmallows. We loved the sweetness they added.
