Thanks for posting....It is delicious.! But let's get real, it is not a vegetable dish.....Anything that has 3 cups of sugar to 3 lb of carrots and has 35 g. per serving of fat is a dessert. If this is a vegetable so is carrot cake. Delicious but not exactly healthy.

I've made this before & everyone LOVES it. They say it tastes more like a dessert. Some even think it's sweet potato pie... YUMMY!

This baked out beautifully and tasted wonderful, I increased the cinnamon to 1-1/4 teaspoons and reduced the brown sugar amount to 1-1/2 cups, I reduced the topping amounts to half, this makes a huge casserole, we enjoyed this hon, thank you for sharing!...Kitten:)
