Bring on the pumpkin pie! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sweet-potato-casserole-dessert-or-side-dish#post-15090 Sun, 13 Nov 2011 22:56:17 +0000 MsMini 15090@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It is definitely a side dish in my opinion. I have never had it with toasted marshmallows on top though, might have to try that next year. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sweet-potato-casserole-dessert-or-side-dish#post-15081 Sun, 13 Nov 2011 22:36:17 +0000 MrsApricot 15081@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>So not a dessert! lol! I am not a big fan, but my cousin makes a pretty decent sweet potato dish with pecans and stuff...I'll eat it if I can get the right ratio of topping to potato. ;-) Even though it's somewhat sweet, to me, it's still a side. I would be totally bummed to go to Thanksgiving dinner, get to dessert, and have the host/hostess bring that out for dessert. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sweet-potato-casserole-dessert-or-side-dish#post-15069 Sun, 13 Nov 2011 21:40:24 +0000 PitBulLover 15069@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Wondermommy: definitely side dish! My mom makes it every year and my favorite part is the toasty marshmallows on the top. I've never had candied pecans on it but that sounds delicious! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sweet-potato-casserole-dessert-or-side-dish#post-14631 Sat, 12 Nov 2011 15:28:38 +0000 Mrs Green Grass 14631@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I consider it a desserty side dish and always eat it last with my dinner. (I'm a peculiar eater...I totally plan what order to eat my food in and make sure the last bite is the best bite!) </p> <p>We have a family recipe that is half yams and half green apples (layered with sugar and butter) then marshmallows on top. The green apple's tartness makes it a little less like dessert. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sweet-potato-casserole-dessert-or-side-dish#post-14478 Sat, 12 Nov 2011 08:41:26 +0000 MH.Abroad 14478@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I see it as a sidedish, although I know some people who make Sweet Potato Pie instead of Pumpkin, and then it's dessert. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sweet-potato-casserole-dessert-or-side-dish#post-14431 Sat, 12 Nov 2011 03:47:09 +0000 looch 14431@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@LeeLee, I adored that Ruth's sweet potato side dish! There was a restaurant in my office building, thank goodness they were closed for lunch or I would have had it every day! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sweet-potato-casserole-dessert-or-side-dish#post-14248 Fri, 11 Nov 2011 17:11:32 +0000 leelee 14248@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I consider it a dessert. Ruth's Chris Steakhouse has an amazing sweet potato casserole that they will pair with vanilla ice cream if you ask them. It's AMAZING! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sweet-potato-casserole-dessert-or-side-dish#post-14194 Fri, 11 Nov 2011 16:09:35 +0000 Mrs Sorbet 14194@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've always eaten as a side dish although it is pretty dessert-esque. Either way it's delicious :). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sweet-potato-casserole-dessert-or-side-dish#post-14180 Fri, 11 Nov 2011 16:03:40 +0000 MegWag 14180@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I love my mom's sweet potato souffle (cinnamon, sugar and nut crumble topping). I'd say it's officially a side dish, but I choose to eat it as a side, a dessert, breakfast the next morning, etc :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sweet-potato-casserole-dessert-or-side-dish#post-14176 Fri, 11 Nov 2011 16:01:35 +0000 HabesBabe 14176@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Side dish! I like to toast the marshmallows under the broiler while the turkey rests... Mmmm... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sweet-potato-casserole-dessert-or-side-dish#post-14174 Fri, 11 Nov 2011 16:00:11 +0000 tequiero21 14174@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>side dish, but i'm not a fan =T..... i think i have yet to try one that's made really well. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sweet-potato-casserole-dessert-or-side-dish#post-14102 Fri, 11 Nov 2011 14:46:06 +0000 eeh 14102@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>To me it's too savory to be a dessert. You can prepare it without the marshmellows and candied pecans. We always serve those on the side and have be a bit of a build your own type of thing. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sweet-potato-casserole-dessert-or-side-dish#post-14101 Fri, 11 Nov 2011 14:46:01 +0000 BabyBear 14101@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Side dish! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sweet-potato-casserole-dessert-or-side-dish#post-14098 Fri, 11 Nov 2011 14:43:34 +0000 Wondermommy 14098@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Trying to plan my Thanksgiving menu for this year, and I personally see Sweet Potato Casserole as more of a dessert, but others may see it as more of a side dish.</p> <p>I make it with marshmallows and candied pecans on top, which to me is more dessert-ish.</p> <p>What do you think? </p>
