Tennessee Whiskey Sweet Potato Casserole

Sweet potato casserole flavored with Tennessee whiskey, brown sugar, and topped with candied pecans. A rich and comforting take on a classic holiday dish that has been in my family for years. We’ve had it at Thanksgiving for as long as I can remember. For best results make sure potatoes are drained of as much water as possible.
