Some tasty seasonings like cinnamon and nutmeg and a crunchy corn flake and walnut topping make it easy for even kids to eat their nutritious sweet potatoes. This is a terrific Thanksgiving side dish. Virginia Slater, West Sunbury, Pennsylvania

I made this for Thanksgiving and EVERYONE LOVED IT. This is the first time I tried any sweet potato casserole and will be making again!!

This was very tasty. I mostly enjoyed the creamier texture of the sweet potatoes. I used 2/3 the amount of sugar and it was still plenty sweet. A great alternative to the marshmallow version.

Loved the recipe, but next time I am going to omit 1/4 cup of sugar. It was a bit sweet for my taste.

I added a little honey to the sweet potatoe mixture before baking. Also, for the topping I used Cinnamon Rice chex cereal crushed in the food processor along with the walnuts for the topping. After baking like normal, I put some miniature marshmallows on top and browned them before serving. WONDERFUL...everybody loved this one!! We even went out the next morning and got more sweet potatoes to make it again the second night in a row because we didn't leave much for leftovers!

This recipe was incredible! I made it for the first time for Thanksgiving dinner. It was so easy and everyone raved about how delicious it was. I used evaporated milk and pecans instead of walnuts. Have already had requests to make it again for Christmas!

I have served a similar Sweet Potato Casserole like this one for every holiday for the past 20 years, using most of these ingredients except the milk & walnuts I use evaporated milk & pecans and vanilla.

I did not have sweet potatoes so I used butternut squash instead and added a teaspoon of vanilla. It was so good, will be making this again.

I make this receipe each holiday. I started making this the year it came out in the Taste of Home Magazine. It was under the section on getting your kids to eat vegatables. Therefore, I made it and my son who is now 24 years old does not think it is a holiday without this casserole being on the table. It is very kid friendly. I have also taken it to church potluck and school luncheons. Rarely do I ever leave those functions without having to share this recipe, so I go prepared with a copy of the recipe to give to those who want it.

I have not made this yet well tonight. Sounds good. But it don't say if you should cook it before you mash them which I'm sure you would.

This is an old favorite but instead of using corn flakes I've always used rice crispies. Great way to get the kids eating their vegi's because they think it's dessert ;-)
