Sweet Potato Casserole :-

How does football season always pass so quickly? It’s Egg Bowl week again, and I know that trophy is itching to come home to Oxford. As classic as the Egg Bowl rivalry is our recipe for this week, the Thanksgiving staple of sweet potato casserole. People think you have to choose between marshmallows and pecans, but I believe more is more and always incorporate both.

As we gather around our Thanksgiving table, I am thankful not just for family but specifically for our Rebel Family. Ole Miss has brought me so many wonderful friends who have become family, such as my dear friend Evie who lets me do these recipes, as well as DBC (if you know, you know!). Sending you all love on the holidays and always. And remember, GTHMSU! LET’S GET THE EGG BACK HOME FOR THE HOLIDAYS!!

-1 can sweetened condensed milk
-1 tbsp vanilla extract
