Truly easy and delicious. I took this to Thanksgiving dinner and everyone loved it. It's not too sweet-- you can taste the sweet potatoes.<br/>It worked with my substituting regular butter for light butter, and brown sugar for white, granulated sugar.<br/>If you want a casserole that doesn't taste like a dessert item, this one is for you.

Yet another feature change that has made the website less user friendly. It's sad to watch a fantastic site deteriorate over the years. Some of my recipes are on my blog.
