Mom loves sweet potatoes and fixed them often in this creamy, comforting casserole. With its nutty topping, this side dish could almost serve as a dessert. It's a yummy treat!

This was a big hit at our Thanksgiving table. One person who has always passed up sweet potatoes decided to try it when I told him that if he liked pumpkin pie (which he does), then he'd like this. He ended up taking seconds and requested some of the leftover dish to take home!

I made this for Thanksgiving and my husband, who is not a big fan of sweet potatoes, stated that it was so good I should put it in a crust and call it dessert. He requested that I make it again, soon!

Everyone ate this, and had seconds! First time I ever saw guests who normally don't "go" for sweet potatoes "go" for this side dish!

I made this dish for Thanksgiving and used only half the sugar. It was delicious and got rave reviews. The next time I make it, however, I will eliminate the sugar altogether. I also used yams rather than sweet potatoes. My method of preparing sweet potatoes/yams is not to bake them but to peel and boil them just like for mashed potatoes.

My family would be disappointed if this wasn't on the holiday menu. Note: When I first made this recipe, I didn't know how to cook sweet potatoes. After some research, I learned to bake them at 350 for an hour or until the insides are soft (I use a foil lined cookie sheet for easy clean up). I then half them and while still hot I scoop out the insides with a fork- instant mashed potatoes. I then put them in the fridge overnight and make the rest of the dish the next day.

This recipe is fantastic. The only Thanksgiving side dish my son requests. I have been making it for years and probably always will.

This is my most requested dish during the holidays. Everyone loves it & asks for the recipe. You can use canned sweet potatoes (vacuum packed without liquid) if you're short on time. Not quite as good but still delicious. Highly recommend this recipe.
