Sweet Potato Casserole with Bourbon and Pecans

Sweet potatoes are one of my grandfather’s favorite vegetables. He particularly likes this sweet tasting veggie in empanadas and has been begging me to make them. Don’t worry, it’s on my to-do list. This Bourbon Pecan Sweet Potato Casserole is the perfect filling for those stuffed pastries but is just as good as a sit alone casserole too.

I know you are super busy getting your kitchen holiday ready. You are cleaning it from top to bottom on top of meal planning. Luckily, you need to look no further for the perfect side dish. This Bourbon Pecan Sweet Potato Casserole was made for the holidays. It’s sweet but not too sweet and it compliments holiday favorites like honey baked ham and roasted turkey perfectly. masher-for-bourbon-pecan-sweet-potato-casserole

For my Bourbon Pecan Sweet Potato Casserole, I mashed the sweet potatoes using a TedGem Stainless Steel Potato Masher. It is made of a rust-resistant food grade stainless steel and has a heat resistant handle. I found the handle comfortable and it’s mashing abilities fantastic. I was able to mash these sweet potatoes in very little time with very little pressure.
