Jackie,
I signed up to provide the sweet potato casserole for the Kitchen Class Christmas party tonight and thought I should try a new recipe. As I drank my coffee, listening to the beautiful rain this morning, I knew I would find something delicious at Syrup & Biscuits.
Voila!! And I loved watching the video! Felt like we were sharing our coffee time.
Mine is in the oven now. And I don’t need to wait to tell you it is so, so good! I licked the bowl, the spatula and my fingers! Yum!
The KC group is in for a special treat tonight!!

Hi Wendy!

Whew-wee! It gets hot in my kitchen when I’m baking. I turn my oven on to 450 for biscuits. I don’t think it’s possible in Florida to turn the A/C down enough in the summer to keep the kitchen cool with a hot oven blasting.

I’d allow 8 ounces for a medium sweet potato. In the recipe, I called for 4 to 5 medium to large. If you’re making the full recipe, I’d use 32 to 40 ounces of canned sweet potato flesh, drained.

Thank you so much for your sweet and thoughtful comments.

I just came across the video for this recipe a few days ago – no where near Thanksgiving, but I would love to try it. You mentioned in the video that if you couldn’t find and bake sweet potatoes, that you could use canned. Could you please till me what would be the equivalent to do that? I just love your videos and couldn’t help but feel so bad for you when I was watching the biscuit one – you looked so miserable standing next to the 400 degree oven! I thank you for posting the recipes and the videos – you are charming and full of great advice!

In reply to Jill Van Vlack. It’s truly spectacular, Jill. I’m going to try real hard to produce a video tomorrow for this recipe. Today was going to be the day but the weather is too gloomy and I️ don’t use much in the way of artificial lights.

These were delicious! During last nights Thanksgiving dinner I converted an entire non-eating sweet potato family into lovers of your sweet potato casserole. Upon request I sent your recipe home with them!

What a beautifully worded post, Jackie. I’m sure you will do your future grandchildren proud one day! I, too, look forward to day when I can re-tell family stories to grandchildren. If we get to do that, we will be truly blessed by the good Lord. Now we know we are presently blessed with our children. I wish you and your family a wonderful holiday. And I thank you for sharing all of your recipes on Pinterest! 😉
Happy Thanksgiving, Jackie.
Best,
Gloria

In reply to Glen Powers.

Glen,

I used self-rising flour in the cornbread. I should have made the distinction clear in the recipe. Thank you for bringing that to my attention. I will edit the recipe to include that.

Absolutely, you can make your dressing today, refrigerate and bake it off tomorrow. I’ve done that many times before. This year I completely cooked mine and froze it. Tomorrow morning I will thaw and reheat.

Happy Thanksgiving, Glen!

Hi Jackie.. girl, you made my heart sing first thing this morning with all you have to be thankful for…me too. Thanks for all the great recipes. Do you use plain flour or all-purpose in your Egg Bread/Cornbread that you bake to make dressing with? And one more question. Do you think it’s ok to make the dressing today, put in the fridge overnight and cook tomorrow? Happy thanksgiving to you and the family.
