I wanted a side to go along with a turkey breast...and boy am I glad I found this one! Hubby ate almost the ENTIRE dish! I did substiture pecan's for the walnuts.

This was not a very good recipe for me.... I made this as a side for dinner the other night and the casserole was like soup. I am wondering if maybe the quantities are off for he amount of sweet potatoes called for - I am kind of surprised that I am the only person making this comment. I thought that I had done something wrong so I made the recipe again paying extra close attention to what I was doing and still ended up with the same result... a very very runny sweet potato casserole. It was just not good (also VERY sweet) On the other hand... I LOVED the topping for this dish and I will definitely use the topping again.. I will just mash my sweet potatoes like normal (with butter and brown sugar) and then add this as a yummy crunchy topping!

I made this sugar free with Stevia using 1/2 of amounts that called for sugar. Stevia is twice as sweet as sugar. Also to lighten up I used " I can't beleive it's not butter" & egg beaters instead of eggs. Also fat free milk. This was wonderful. Loved by all.

I HAVEN'T MADE THIS YET BUT IT DOES SOUND GOOD. I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW HOW TO CUT THE CALORIES. 573 CALORIES ARE MORE THAN YOU SHOULD HAVE IN A WHOLE MEAL. AND 31 GM OF FAT AND 16 SAT FAT IS AN AWFULLY LOT OF FAT IN ONE RECIPE.

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.
