You guys. This recipe. I just can’t even…<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is my Grandma’s famous (to our family anyway) recipe, and it’s the reason I look forward to every family-gathering holiday from Thanksgiving to Christmas to Easter and anything in between!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The sweet potato filling is sweet and buttery. And the crumbly topping is just… omg <\/em>SO GOOD! My grandma has made the topping all sorts of ways (one of my faves is when she makes it with Frosted Flakes), but this is the most-often used version that we put in the family cookbook. It’s brown sugary, buttery, and chock full of pecans and coconut<\/em>!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Y’all. My Grandma is a coconut fiend, and she doesn’t mess around when she adds it to a recipe. The coconut in this topping means business, and it is SO awesome. It gives a tiny bit of chew to the topping, plus an amazing flavor! Although, I have to say that it doesn’t actually taste coconut-y. So for you crazies who don’t like coconut– don’t worry. You won’t even be able to tell that it’s there! It just makes the topping EXTRA amazing.<\/p>\n\n\n

I could eat this stuff all day every day, and it’s the number one food I look forward to at the holidays! And the best part? You get to eat it on your dinner<\/em> plate. ‘Cause technically<\/em> it’s a vegetable…. so you get to eat this and dessert too. It’s brilliant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Enjoy and happy holidays!!<\/p>\n\n\n
