This is an amazing recipe. I too like to bake my sweet potatoes to soften instead of boiling. You get more flavor. I added a little extra brown sugar and butter on top..... Yummy is right!!! My sister's family can't wait for me to bring it... it definitely beats out the homemade string bean casserole and corn bread stuffing sides! Thanks for the recipe.

FYI - Consider using a ricer to squeeze the hot potatoes through to decrease the 'strings'. I've been using a similar recipe for years and an inexpensive ricer definitely makes a difference. I've used canned and fresh potatoes - go with fresh!

I've been told this is a good recipe, I made it for the family, not for me, I'm not a sweet potato person but apprantly it's worth the effort.

This is a must have on our Thanksgiving table. I do bake my potatoes as others have said, it does make a difference. If you really want to impress your company add a tablespoon of frozen orange juice concentrate to your mixture before adding the topping. Don't use regular OJ it makes the mixture too runny. Yummy!!!

I have long made a similar casserole. I always made lots extra to turn into sweet potato muffins the next day (similar to pumpkin muffins). This was always the part of Thanksgiving eating that my kids looked forward to most!

This is EXACTLY the recipe my BF's Mom uses EVERY T'giving & Xmas and it's everyone's favorite dish at holidays. I've made it a few times and it's sooo good, but somehow always tastes better when she does it... How do Moms do that? Follow the recipe EXACTLY, don't change a thing- It's PERFECT just like this!

I unfortunately have not been able to try this yet but I sent it off with my husband to work for their Thanskgiving "dinner". I heard that it was gone within the first 10 minutes! Everyone loved it! I can't wait to make it on Thursday for Thanksgiving.

This is a delicious recipe everyone will enjoy. My husband is not crazy about sweet potatoes, and even this dish is a tasty treat, he enjoys. I make this dish every year during the holidays - upon request! This has just the right about of sweetness you will love. I did make two changes.....I use about 4-5 med-sized sweet potatoes, and I used 1 tbsp less of butter for both the filling and the topping. I kept everything else the same.

Try adding 1/4 to 1/3 cup of orange juice (pulpless) to the potato mixture before adding the topping. It adds delightful brightness to an already scrumptious dish.

This is basically sweet potato pie filling, so you can also add some spices, put it in a pie shell and make a dessert, too. If I want pie I will make pie, so next time I will just use the potatoes, butter, and brown sugar....my favorite way to fix sweet potatoes....and omit the other ingredients. The topping complements the casserole nicely, but is very sweet and there could be less of it for our taste. There was so much that it overpowered the flavor of the sweet potatoes. I'm still giving it 4 stars, though, because it is a good basic recipe for sweet potato casserole.

This casserole is excellent! I have such a big family, at Thanksgiving I usually have to quadruple the recipe and make it in a lasagna pan......! The only thing I do different is using walnuts and granulated sugar in the topping instead of pecans and brown sugar and it was still phenomenal.. although I may try the pecans. Also, like other reviews have said, baking the sweet potatoes makes it ten times tastier than boiling..and it is so much easier.

Just a suggestion - I have the same recipe and you can use a 40 Oz. can of sweet potatoes (well-drained) and the results are YUMMY and it's alot easier then cooking the sweet potatoes

My husband loved it, but I'm the one rating the recipe, and I didn't care for it myself. Too sweet and too rich. It would have been better if I just baked the sweet potato and ate it just on its own...healthier too. I'm giving it three stars however, because I'm sure my husband would want me to make it again.

I followed recipe exactly and I did not care for this. It was too runny and too mushy and to icky. It was okay coming right out of the oven, but I just got done eating the leftovers for lunch and ugh I had a hard time finishing them. I will keep looking for a sweet potato recipe thanks for the try.
