I made this recipe for Thanksgiving and everyone thought it was very good. I liked the flavor too. I used canned sweet potatoes and doubled the brown sugar, orange juice and pumpkin spice that was added to the sweet potatoes, so the casserole would have more juice to it. It was the best I had tasted.
