TV personality and cookbook author Alex Guarnaschelli is planning to reinvent the sweet potato casserole for her Thanksgiving menu this year. The dish, which has been a Thanksgiving staple since the early 1900s, is traditionally sweet and topped with marshmallows. Guarnaschelli is keeping the details of her reinvention a secret but hints at possibly adding bacon or roasted bananas for unique flavors.
