Description

A festive, tropical sweet potato casserole — cooked sweet potatoes mashed with butter, pecans, coconut, brown sugar, and orange juice until soft and fluffy, layered over mashed bananas in a buttered casserole, topped with the remaining sweet potato mixture, sprinkled with crushed cornflakes and more brown sugar, and baked at 350°F for 20 minutes. Unique, deeply Southern, and surprising in the best way.
