Definately a staple for thanksgiving.

This was way too sweet for my family.

I made this at Thanksgiving, but substituted the sugar, including the brown variety, with Splenda so my diabetic mother could enjoy it too. It was sensational! Thanks for sharing this delicious recipe!

This is the best sweet potato casserole I've ever tested - sinfully delicious!

This recipe is great. You do have to cut back on the eggs, sugar and milk or it will be very runny. Everything else I left the same. At every family function this is a must have from every family member.

I made several modifications to this recipe. I cut the sugar in half (calling for half as much sugar as there were potatoes just seemed like way too much). I replaced half the margarine with butter. I eliminated the marshmallows and coconut. I made it for Thanksgiving dinner and it got rave reviews, everyone asked for the recipe afterwards! Also as others commented, there aren't really instructions for how to prep the potatoes. I used fresh sweet potatoes, peeled and boiled them until they were tender, and mashed them in a food mill before adding the rest of the ingredients. I'd give it 5 stars with my changes :)

I was disappointed in the results of this recipe. The consistancy was too soupy even though I tried to cook it longer but then the topping started to get too dark. It didn't have a whole lot of flavor either.

I followed this recipe except left out the coconut and pecans and it came out a runny mess. As others have said the recipe is confusing. I imagine using fresh sweet potato (as I did) was a mistake and effects the recipe. I knew I was in trouble when it said to scoop the contents into a baking dish and I had to pour it. The flavors were good, but the texture was terrible.

Very quick and easy to make. I took it to a large family gathering for Thanksgiving and there was still plenty left over. Next time I may halve the recipe. I don't normally like sweet potato casserole, but I did enjoy this. Perhaps because it tastes more like a dessert.

This was too sweet for me, but everyone ate it. I had to cook it longer than the recipe stated and I left out the coconut. I had no leftovers from Thanksgiving except for this casserole, I'll look for a new recipe for next year.

Ialso just used half the sugar but it was absolutley delicious!!!!!! A BIG HIT. Thanks

Wow, everyone at church raved and raved over this one. I would have given it 5 stars but I did change the recipe a bit which made it even better. For one thing I used 2 big cans of canned sweet potatoes (drained and mashed) and 1 cup of brown sugar instead of 2 cups of white. Also, everywhere it called for 3/4 cup of butter I only used 1/2 cup and NO COCONUT. I also cooked it a little bit longer than it called for. When I took it out it looked perfect but when I checked the middle it was a little runny. Luckily after cooling some it set up more and was just right. I just had some for breakfast, (yes I did, LOL) and it was even better today if that's possible. I did double the recipe since this was for a church Thanksgiving Feast. There were only 25 of us there and I know not everyone had the casserole but after dinner, 1'st, 2nd's and everyone taking some home for leftovers, I still had 1/4 of the pan left. (I used a giant square cake pan I have, see the photo I uploaded) Next time I would only double it if there were 50 people maybe.

I have made this recipe for the last 2 years for our big family dinners. I always get the call"are you bring the sweetpotato cassarole"? Great Dish. Thanks for the recipe.

I found this recipe one year when I was in a pinch to make something new and now I have to make it every year. By request "That crunchy Sweet Potatoe Dish" It is the BEST.

I've been making this recipe for about 3 years now and whenever I go anywhere, I'm always asked to bring this dish specifically. I can't even remember how many times I've forwarded this recipe on. I make just as directed and it comes out great every time. The only thing that I found over the years, is that if I make it one day ahead and let it cool overnight, then warm it up in the oven on the day of, it's consistency is perfect!! Thanks to Charline for sharing this wonderful, scrumptious delight!

This dish is wonderful. I made a few changes though. I used fresh sweet potatoes, chopped them into small pieces and boiled them until just tender. Then I left out the coconut completely and instead of using all white sugar, I used half brown. After reading other reviews, I also used 1 stick (1/2 cup) butter in the dish and 1 stick in the topping. It was just right, no oozing!

This is SO good! My sister and I fought over the sweet potato topping every Thanksgiving until we found this recipe! Thanks for sharing.
