I could not believe how wonderful this tasted! I followed the recipe exactly except I bought a can of sweet potatoes that was slightly larger than 3 cups. I mashed the sweet potatoes until they were no longer all that lumpy and rounded my measurements for the butter and brown sugar. When I had that first bite full of both brown sugar and melted butter, I was in heaven. I noted (after eating it for a week) that this tastes best when piping hot. I hate sweet potato casserole, so how is it I ate this whole casserole almost by myself? I would make this again tomorrow! Thank you for a sensational recipe.

Excellent dish!!! The only thing I changed was I used a little less milk, especially if doubling. It held together much better, wasn't as watery as it gets when using full amount. Made a 13 x 9 dish and there was hardly any leftovers. Even the small children ate sweet potatoes and loved them, that was a first!!
