I have eaten sweet potato casserole every Thanksgiving and Christmas for as long as I can remember. I just don't feel like it's the holidays without this sweet and creamy dish with its satisfying crunchy topping.
However, all of that changed a couple of years ago when Kelsie got her food allergy diagnosis.
As soon as the doctor said sweet potato, my first thought was that's a crazy food allergy. My second was sweet potato casserole.
We never really ate sweet potatoes at any other time of the year besides the holidays. I knew that they wouldn't be missed, except when November and December rolled around.
I put on my thinking cap though, because I had to find something that would be very similar. However, it still had to have the same sweet and creamy inside while having that delicious crunchy topping.
That's when I thought hey, sweet potato pie and pumpkin pie are pretty similar. I've roasted plenty of pumpkin with cinnamon and brown sugar, so why wouldn't pumpkin work.
I set out to search online for a pumpkin casserole, and didn't find anything at all like what I was looking for. I then took my favorite sweet potato casserole recipe and just used pumpkin. It turned out fantastic!
It's so similar that sweet potatoes aren't missed at all! I served this to family during our Christmas in July, they raved about how tasty it was.
This will definitely be a part of our holiday tradition from now on! What's your favorite holiday dish that is sort of a tradition?
Can you substitute pumpkin for sweet potato?
Yes! This recipe works very well with both pumpkin or sweet potato.
Can I use canned pumpkin pie filling to make Pumpkin Crumble Casserole?
I do not recommend using it. I recommend using only the canned pumpkin puree. It is free from all those extra spices that is added. Using fresh spices with the canned puree always yields the best flavors.
How do I make pumpkin casserole gluten free?
I would recommend using my favorite Bob's Red Mill Gluten Free 1 to 1 Baking Mix. I find that it always turns out when using it in my favorite recipes that call for all purpose flour.

I really wish that I liked pumpkin. It is something that I never enjoyed but I probably should try it now that I am older. Taste buds tend to change.
Ayana Pitterson says
I have to be honest, pumpkin and sweet potatoes are my least favorite holiday food. Yes, I know, I'm crazy. I have tried it over and over again, and there is something about the consistency that I don't enjoy. However, my family RAVES about these foods like they are going out of style. So, while I don't eat them, I do make it because you do what you have to do. I can definitely see them loving this. Adding to my holiday recipe list. Thanks for sharing.
