It’s almost fall, and so many of you have Pumpkin Spice on the mind right now. It’s everywhere! I think I saw 20 different varieties of pumpkin spice-flavored food at the grocery store last week.
So, in honor of that, I thought I’d incorporate the popular flavor into an old favorite. If you think about it, pumpkin spice and sweet potato flavors go together so well. They both have a spicy, comforting flavor about them, so the combination was totally natural.
And the topping? Let’s talk about this one for a second. Even if you hate pumpkin and decide to leave that part out, you absolutely have to try this crumble on top of the casserole. The flavors are so rich, and it’s the perfect little crunch and bite against the smooth casserole. So. Good.
I’m not totally sure if today’s recipe is a casserole or a dessert…I guess you can decide! 🙂 It would work as either, and either way I think it’s a total hit.
Here’s the recipe!
