Some of her avid fans have actually tried her recipe and told the "Should Have Known Better" hitmaker how it went.
"We make this every thanksgiving and Christmas. It’s our absolute fav! 🤤" one commented.
"Tried this dish for the first time the other day and I WAS NOT disappointed!!! My favorite dish is 100% the stuffing 😍😍😍" added another Insta gram user.
"I eat it as a side dish because it’s served hot but like last if that makes sense because it is sweeter. We always bring it to any holidays gathering we’re invited too and it’s always a hit," quipped a third follower. Meanwhile, another noted that the dish is "like dessert and a side all in one."
"My fav recipe from the book! Making 2 batches for tomorrow! 😍" A fifth commenter remarked.

Fans can follow Jessie's sweet potato casserole recipe through her "Just Feed Me" cookbook, which can be purchased on Amazon. Yesterday, the mother of three gave her followers a turkey tip through her food blog's Instagram page.
"It doesn’t matter if it’s turkey or chicken…the secret to a perfectly roasted bird is season it, butter it up, stuff it with aromatic herbs and veggies, and don’t over cook it🍗" Jessie captioned the post, along with a picture of a delicious roasted chicken. "I always do my Turkey just like my roasted chicken with butter under the skin to give it that crispy bronzed outside and juicy flavorful meat underneath."
She also added a guide on "cooking times and temperature tips" in the next slide.
In Moderation
In an interview, Jessie shared how she maintains her killer physique despite loving food.
"I think it’s balance. Everything is about balance, portion control,” she told HollywoodLife in September 2020. “I think the key is to not go overboard.”
The "Lights Down Low" songstress also believes that no one should “ever limit themselves on the goods if they want to eat.” However, she notes, “we can limit the amount that we do eat.”
