"This is more like a dessert than a vegetable casserole! It is sweet and you could even put it into a pie shell and make into a sweet potato pie!Is very sweet and you won't have very many leftovers! The taste reminds me of pumpkin pie filling."

This was such a huge hit at my Thanksgiving dinner, I just had to share! The entire crowd absolutely raved about it and it was the first of the dishes that was passed around for 2nd's, (and 3rd's, ...) Thanks so much!
