Sweet (POT)ato Casserole Story
Hello Everyone!
Thanks for stopping by today to spend some time talking about another holiday classic – Sweet Potato
Casserole. I say holiday classic, since in my childhood home, sweet potatoes only made an appearance
at Thanksgiving and Christmas. This casserole is not the sweet potato casserole of my childhood.
Does anyone else have nightmares of about the sweet potato casserole coming out of the oven with the
topping of mini marshmallows completely incinerated? In the rush of trying to get everything to the
table at the same time and still have everything be warm, the sweet potato casserole gets put under the
broiler to develop the Beautiful golden-brown patina should be the destiny of every marshmallow in
existence…and no one remembers its in the oven unƟl black smoke starts roiling out of the oven and the
smoke detectors go off….Ah the holiday memories!
This sweet potato casserole has a streusel topping instead of marshmallows. It’s also equally good at
room temperature as it is piping hot from the oven. I have also served it as dessert with a dollop of
whipped cream or a scoop of butter pecan ice cream. I know some of you sweet potato casserole purists
out there can’t imagine the casserole without the mini marshmallows, so, just consider it dessert and try
it!
If you want a more potent elevation from the casserole, you could use cannabuƩer in both the casserole
itself and in the streusel topping. I used non-infused butter in the streusel topping on my version. For
me, the canna-butter and sugar in the casserole itself was strong enough. Also, since the streusel
topping has no protection from the heat of the oven, I wanted to make sure I was not losing any potency
by using the cannabutter in the streusel since the casserole has a fairly long baking time. The blanket of
un-infused streusel protects the infused ingredients in the casserole itself during the longer cooking
