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!

Made this many times, sometimes cutting back on some of the sugar. So good.

I made this for Thanksgiving last year. It was a huge hit, and all of my family loved it. Definitely the best sweet potato dish I've ever had.
