I got this recipe from a friend years ago, and I've used it a lot since! So many of my friends enjoyed it that I've sent the recipe all over the country! I make it primarily for Thanksgiving, or for dinners when I'm serving ham.

Phenominal I make a sweet potato casserole every year. Not sure if this is the same recipe, but it has the same ingredients. I also use less sugar, both in and on top of this.

My whole family loves this version of sweet potato casserole. No marshmallows for us please. We don't like it supper sweet; sweet potatoes have their own natural sweetness (that's why they are "sweet" potatoes) so we generally don't add that much sugar, if any. This will definitely have a place on the Thanksgiving table!

I agree with the other reviewers... this is more of a dessert than a side dish. I'll probably make this again, but I'll halve the sugar.

This recipe was a hit last Thanksgiving so I made it again this year. Everyone loves it! I've already shared this recipe with several people.

My children and my husband always ask for this if they see sweet potatoes on the grocery list. I am often asked to bring this to pot luck dinners too.
