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 ;-)
