I tried it and everyone loved it

My family loves this pie. I have tried others but this one got more votes. I love that its simple and richer. I used a slightly deeper dish for it and it worked great. I will be making it again for sure.

Just to clarify: I doubled the recipe and used TWO deep dish crusts.

Just made this pie. My first Sweet Potato pie (made or tasted). It's a wonderful pie! I doubled the recipe and used a deep dish crust. My non-pumpkin pie eaters loved it.

I made it, everyone loves it, and I make it a lot when the sweet potato harvest is in. I can honestly say this is the best sweet potato pie recipe I have ever tried. The only minor problem was that the filling is a little too much so if you aren't careful you can spill the filling while you put it in the oven. But still, very very good!

I love to make this pie. Easy to to put together and tastes superb. I also love to put chopped peacans on top the last 10-15 minutes of baking.
