This is a great casserole--not too sweet. I've adapted it from several other recipes. I usually double this for Thanksgiving. To make lighter version replace the eggnog with skim milk and use reduced calorie margarine.
I love this recipe. I have been using it for a while now and everyone who tries it likes it. The only thing that I do different is I don't use the egg whites in it. It makes the potatoes a little more runny but they still taste great.

I was so happy to find this recipe. My husband loves the gooey marshmallow casserole but I don't care for it. This is a great compromise, sweet without being over the top. Even my mother-in-law who can always find something to complain about loved it!
Yum! Yum! This is absolutely delicious! I also added a 1/2 tsp maple flavoring, 1/2 tsp butter flavoring, and 1/2 tsp rum flavoring. It makes it even better!
I have made this recipe several times during the holidays and it's always well received. Easy to make and delicious.
I really enjoyed this casserole, but would definitely suggest using skim milk rather than egg nog & use half the amount. I would also only use 1/2 the amount of brown sugar in the casserole (use the whole amount on top), no salt & half the butter. I cooked it for 35 minutes & broiled it on low for 5 minutes to carmelize the topping. This makes the casserole a little more formed & sort of like an apple crisp topping...very yummy!
Let's just say my boyfriend has replaced his favorite that his mother makes with this one!! Don't tell her that!! Delicious!!
This was delicious. The only thing I changed about the recipe was to use skim milk instead of egg nog. Very happy to have a recipe that does not require marshmellows. Thank you!
Added chppoed pecans on top & broiled for last minute to get a crust on top - Very tasty!
This was great. I usually eat my sweet potatoes with butter, salt and alot of pepper. I need to sweeten them up when I serve them for Thanksgiving. I did cut the amount of sugar/butter that is sprinkled on top.
After first time making this today, this will become a Christmas standard. As noted by author, not dessert-like sweet! Everyone loved this dish. Changes we made: used 2.5 lbs of sweet potatoes, not 3 cups, left off topping, used skim milk instead of eggnog, added 1/2 tsp of maple syrup, 1/2 tsp rum flavoring, 1/2 tsp butter flavoring, used 1 whole egg instead of 2 egg whites. A food processor seems like a better device to mash potatoes/mix than using a blender. Our blender struggled to mash/mix.

This was really good and has much less sugar than other casseroles I've seen but even so, I thought it was still too sweet. I would decrease the brown sugar in the crust next time and sub some of the eggnog and for milk like the cook suggested.
OMG, This was so delicious. my hubby loved it. I definitely will be making this again, the only thing different was I turned in the broiler for 2 to 3 minutes to make a little crusty too.
I made this to take to Thanksgiving dinner. I have never made a sweet potato casserole. I usually just roast my sweet potatoes with a little butter. But the host requested a casserole. I cut back just a little on the brown sugar that was mixed with the sweet potatoes, but other than that stayed with the recipe. It was a hit! Everyone enjoyed it. Even the adults and kids that normally don't like this type of dish. I think it was because it wasn't to sweet. And it was simple, no added nuts or marshmallows. They also commented that it had a great consistency. Not runny.
