I liked the flavor of this dish as well as the quickness of making it, but I also thought it was too liquidy. Next time I will probably drain the pineapple and bake it in the oven and see if that helps to thicken it up. Made for PRMR.

These were very good. However, I added about half the brown sugar, because as I was putting it all together, the two cups just seemed like way too much. They came out a little too liquidy, but the flavor was amazing. Will definitely be making this again.

So quick and easy. These were delish. Made for 123 tag.

This recipe is WONDERFUL!! I used fresh sweet potatoes and steamed them in the microwave and then chunked them up before layering per the recipe. Fresh potatoes work great too with this dish. I also made a slight change by using chopped almonds in place of the pecans as a personal preference. This side dish is outstanding! I love this dish completely!!! Tagged in 123 Hit Wonders and I'm so glad I did!! Keeper for sure!

I cut this recipe in half when I made it, but changed nothing else (well, except that I did toast the pecans)! I don't usually care for marshmallow topping on my SPs, but made an exception with this one because of the addition of the cinnamon & nutmeg! VERY, VERY TASTY DISH, & worthy of making again during the end-of-year holidays! Another time I might just try using steamed, unpeeled sweet potatoes, cut into bite-size pieces! Thanks for sharing the recipe! [Tagged, made & reviewed in Please Review My Recipe tag]
