This recipe turned out great after a little changes: 1) I used brown sugar in the sweet potato mixture, but not a full cup - about 1/2. 2) A HUGE time saving trick (as I was making an entire Thanksgiving dinner for 8 people) was that I used 2 packages of Ore-Ida's frozen bagged sweet potatoes (near the frozen french fries in my grocery store). Prepared them in the microwave as directed on the package instead of using fresh sweet potatoes. I'm confident no one even noticed and it saved a lot of time. 3) I also used a little cinnamon, nutmeg, and all spice in the sweet potato mix. 4) I will probably double the topping portion next time as it didn't come close to fully covering my pan.

I love this recipe. It's like dessert and a side dish at the same time. My Aunt used to make it, and she gave me the recipe. I lost it over the years, and I am happy you shared this with us. Now she retired from cooking and I am passing on the tradition.!!

I did this for Thanksgiving and let me tell you big hit!!!! Before this recipe I had always hated sweet potatoes from when I was a child, no... mean NO ONE could get me to eat them....then I went to an Easter dinner and had HoneyBaked Hams Sweet Potatoe Souffle. It was good...So I decided instead paying all that money, to try and make my own. I found this one and right off the back it was my #1 recipe. I am the ultimate Sweet Potatoe cook now in my family of cooks!!!!I did a little tweaking of my own....by adding LOTS of Vanilla and more brown sugar!!!! This is also a perfect pie filling. I LOOOOVVVEEEEEE this recipe.

I made this recipe for the second time this Thanksgiving. It was again a huge hit! I reduce the sugar amount by 1/2...and because the topping is packed with brown sugar, it has enough sweetness. DELICIOUS!

i made a few changes as i made it... first of all i wouldn't call it a souffle more like a sweet potato casserole and that was fine by me as i had to transport it and rewarm it so it worked wonderfully!!! i did cut the sugar content to just over 1/2 cup on the white sugar. On the topping i used light brown sugar and i am so glad i did as it turned dark enough after cooking and very sweet...to me a little too sweet but i was told i was wrong by the rest of my guests they loved it!! i also can not have flour so i adjusted the top to delete the flour and just added 1/2 tsp of cinnamon and it was wonderful the top almost carmelized and it was great!!! everyone wanted this recipe when i was done and left overs it does make alot but there wasn't much for left overs and it rewarms up great!!! will remake this every year!!!!!!

I love this recipe. I make it with butternut squash, so that I can get my kids to eat winter squash. I have tried other souffle that have so much sugar in them, this doesn't need as much, and the vanilla helps alot in that regard. I have also added a little nutmeg, and cloves to this recipe, too. Makes it taste kind of like pumpkin pie.

Made for Thanksgiving. You really have to like sweet potatoes. Thought I would try something new for my children to try, but they still do not like sweet potatoes.

Each year for Thanksgiving and Christmas, this recipe is prepared. It's always satisfying! My family adds marshmellows on top and bakes until it becomes a crisp golden brown. Adding that makes it all the more delicious!

I made this for my husband and I and it lasted 4 days! We both loved it but next time I think I'll freeze about half of it. This recipe did not state the size of sweet potatoes to use so I bought med. to large and had to use a larger dish to cook them. But believe me, NONE of it went to waste.It will offically be made for Thanksgiving replacing my old sweet potatoe recipe for that holiday.

First time ever making Sweet Potato Souffle and everyone loved. I used a little less sugar as recommend by some other reviews. In addition, topped it with a little sprinkle of coconut mixed with the pecans. People didn't even notice at first. I have already make this twice and plan to make it for every holiday.

Excellent recipe, just cut the sugar in half. Way too sweet otherwise. Hard to call it a side dish when it tastes like desert. Don't scrimp on the topping. Yum!

I don't even like sweet potatoes (I made this dish for my husband who loves them), but this recipe is a deliciuos way to make sweet potatoes. I have to admit I tasted it several times as I was cooking it because the flavor of the vanilla and the smooth, creamy texture were so good! I didn't actually make this topping so I can only rate the potato part. (My husband likes the drizzled caramel and toasted marshmallows on top like at Texas Roadhouse, so I did that). Overall, I have to say I never thought sweet potatoes could be so good, and everyone at Thanksgiving dinner said the same thing. It was a big hit!
