Sweet Potato Casserole

I came up with this recipe using a combination of recipes from a cookbook called "Calling All Cooks Two". This is one of my families favorites for Thanksgiving and Christmas dinner. I make two at a time, so I can cook one for Thanksgiving and freeze one for Christmas; saving precious holiday time with my family.
