The best sweet potato casserole ever! This recipe was handed down to me by my mother-in-law. I get so many compliments on this dish and so many requests for this recipe. This really makes me look forward to Thanksgiving! You can use whatever chopped nuts you prefer.

I always make my own changes to a recipe like adding a little more cinnamon and a dash of nutmeg. I also like a thick topping but the rest is the same. Read More

Although highly rated by others, I cut the sugar by a third and still found it so sweet as to be inedible. The flavour of the sweet potatoes is completely overpowered. A half cup of brown sugar in the topping would be more than sufficient and omit the white sugar added to the sweet potato mixture. Read More

This was delicious! My brother-in-law said he doesn't like the sweet potatoes with marshmallows so I was on the hunt for a recipe without them. I got rave reviews! I didn't use all of the topping but saved the left overs for another round! Thank you for sharing this wonderful recipe! Read More

A bit sweet for me; but, everyone at the potluck loved it and it was all gone in no time. I made a double quantity and it was enough for the 33 people who attended. Read More
