This was just perfect. This was the dish I was to bring to Thanksgiving tonight. I fully prepared it at home then brought it in an insulated carrier to be reheated at our destination. Though I heard a lot of disappointment when other guests found out I didn't make the sweet potatoes with marshmallows, they were INSTANTLY won over. I even got my boyfriend to eat (and like) it, even though he said he has never liked sweet potatoes. I was looking for a recipe close to what my late mother made every year. I believe this was it. I did not use coconut because mom's recipe never had it. I did not have an orange to zest, so I used 1 teaspoon of orange juice. I'm not sure it made any difference, the orange is a very subtle flavor in this dish. Also I used two large cans of sweet potatoes instead of fresh. Cheating, I know, but it was still good. Thanks for the keeper, I will make this throughout the year!

I know it's kind of pointless to rate a recipe when you've changed it, but this was such a hit with my family that I wanted to anyway. I added a sweet potato, and used half the white sugar and orange zest that the recipe called for, and one egg instead of two. It was absolutely wonderful. I'll be making it again and again! Thank you!

Excellent! A big hit at Thanksgiving last year. I come from a family of serious Southern cooks and they all gave this casserole a big thumbs up!

I misplaced the recipe I usually use at Thanksgiving for sweet potato casserole and came across this one. I decided to take a chance and use it Thanksgiving 2007. It is my new recipe now. I stopped looking for the old one and have made this a solid addition to my recipe box.

The sweet potato part was really delicious. And true to the other reviews, some that don't ordinarily like sweet potatoes enjoyed this. I did find the crumb topping texture to be unappealing, though. I expected it to be more like that of a crumb pie topping. Maybe I had the wrong perception, but if I make this again, I'll probably put about 5 tablespoons butter in the topping mixture instead of 3.

They were the hit of Thanksgiving! I omitted the orange zest based on other reviews and I did add the coconut. They were very sweet, but sweet and me get along pretty well - so no complaints! :-)

For starters I made the recipe as given. I'm not one to change the ingredients, make changes, etc and then rate it. I always feel it is unfair to the poster. With that being said- I thought it was ok. Nothing to rave about. However, I had two people tell me they loved it. They really like the orange taste.(orange zest) It was good but not sure I would make again. Thanks for posting the recipe.

Great recipe! I didn't have any oranges, and it tasted fine without them. I made a batch with coconut and a batch without, and we preferred it without.

My family loves this recipe. I subsitute 1/2 cup of eggnog for the milk, cut the sugar in half and add cinnamon to both the potatoes and the topping and every speck of it is eaten off of every plate!

I made this recipe for Thanksgiving. It was really good but a little dry. I think using canned pumpkin would probably be better.
