recipe reviews for:

Rum and Sweet Potato Casserole

“This is a simple recipe for sweet potato casserole. But it is also the best I have tasted, enriched with eggs, milk, and rum, and topped with a crunchy pecan streusel. It is a standard at all holiday dinners in my family. The amount of rum can be varied according to taste (the casserole is also good without it, if you so desire.)”

I made this last year and it was a complete hit! If the rum is too strong for you, try substituting Bacardi Vanilla Rum. It has a great smooth flavor that blends in wonderfully.

My sister brought this to Thanksgiving two years in a row and it was awesome! I needed a recipe last year for a Christmas party and it got rave reviews as the best dish. Everyone has already signed me up to bring this this year again!

I've made this recipe twice; both times it got rave reviews. People who don't normally like sweet potatoes loved this recipe!

Made this for Thanksgiving & it was a smash. I especially enjoyed the Pecans on top. My sister-in-law asked for the recipe & she never likes anything!

Absolutely delicious and very impressive. Definitely plan to use a baking dish that is at least a couple inches taller than the mixture when poured in, as the mixture and topping tend to bubble. Very tasty, though, and guests ask for it every year at Thanksgiving.

I changed the recipe by using 1/2 cup of white sugar, 1/4 cup of spiced rum and added 2 cups mashed sweet potatoes (5 in total). I also used regular white flour. The rest I followed as instructed and WOW - what a hit!!! I would DEFINITELY recommend this recipe for Thanksgiving you will NOT be disappointed!!! The topping is sweet and crunchy!!! Our family has been making it for the last 2 years and this year will be our 3rd...

I have made this recipe for a couple of years, with some adjustments. Increase the amount of sweet potatos by 2 cups, cut the sugar to 3/4 cup, add 1/4 cup dark rum and 1/4 cup Grand Marnier. We just love the flavor and texture of this recipe!
