Yummy Yam Casserole
"My boss' wife always makes these for the annual Christmas party. They are to die for. Better than the kind made with marshmallows IMHO. Thanks, Holly! Note: This recipe can be doubled and placed in one large 9x13 dish but the baking thime also needs to be doubled. Added to OMAC (thanks to the freezer tag game) See freezing and cooking directions at the bottom of instructions."

A few weeks ago I was home all day with a sick child and decided to do an impromptu mini session of OAMC. I had to use what I had, though. And what I had was a lot of sweet potatoes. So I made this and put it in the freezer. Pulled it out on Christmas eve and let it sit in the fridge until Christmas afternoon. Baked it a little longer than said in the directions, as there were still some tiny ice crystals. Some people LOVED it (and had three helpings) and some liked it just fine. So the 4 stars. Easy to make and a nice fast addition to Christmas dinner. Thanks. -
I made this for Freezer Tag, and thought it was great. I agree with the other reviews...it was REALLY sweet. Next time I will cut back on the sugar. The topping was incredible. I used a random can of Yams, and it was ridiculously easy and quick to prepare. I assembled the entire thing, including topping, and put it into the freezer. When ready I let it thaw in the refrigerator overnight and baked as directed. Since it froze so well, it would be a good way to use up yams before they go bad and freeze for later. -
The peacans were a wonderful touch, definatly sweet might cut it down to a half cup or maybe 3/4 next time. overall great recipe -
I forgot to rate this the first time I tried it months ago. It was so sweet and absolutely delicious. I made it again for Easter, and didn't make the real topping (which is excellent), just used a sprinkling of chopped pecans. It's REALLY sweet and an excellent side dish.

<p>I have been married to my amazing husband for 8 wonderful years. We added a baby boy to the mix in March '08 with another just added March '10. We have two adorable rescue dogs, a chihuahua/min pin mix and a yorkie/westie mix. I have been an ovo-lacto vegetarian for 14 years. <br /> <br />After moving to our fourth state in a year, we have finally settled in Texas. I don't know how I like all the rain and the human-sized bugs, but we really enjoy the area we have chosen to live in. Being a vegetarian in this part of the country is HARD. No one quite gets it. <br /> <br />I love testing my zaar recipes on DH. When he loves something he exclaims, Where did you get this recipe?!? and of course, my answer is always the same. <br /> <br /><img src=http://www.enviro-tote.com/imagesNew/stockart/bannerVeggie.gif alt= /> <br /> <br />My ratings system: <br />5***** <br /> I would glady serve this to guests, or make it and secretly eat it all by myself. <br />4**** <br /> Great recipe. Liked enough to print out and place in my permanent cookbook. <br />3*** <br /> Recipe not quite for me, but others might like it. Could be more to my liking with a few modifications. <br />2** <br /> Didn't like. Possible ingredient errors in recipe. Probably wouldn't use again. <br />1* <br /> Really didn't like. Would never use again. <br /> <br />#NOTE# <br />If I review any recipes containing meat, it is a recipe I prepared and DH reviewed. <br /> <br /><img src=http://www.enviro-tote.com/imagesNew/stockart/bannerVeggie.gif alt= /> <br /> <br />Little Italy, San Diego <br /><img src=http://i42.photobucket.com/albums/e342/hadice/Cool/LittleItaly.jpg alt= /> <br /> <br /><img src=http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y53/DUCHESS13/berriesblinkie.gif alt= /><img src=http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/projects/untitled_1.jpg alt= /> <br /> <br /><img src=http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/permanent%20collection/200_artistrichardneuman-art-prints_.jpg alt= /><img src=http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/permanent%20collection/untitled.jpg alt= /><img src=http://i10.photobucket.com/albums/a132/tgifford/Game%20Room%20Banners/AM%20Banners/KBparticipation.jpg border=0 alt=Photobucket /> <br /> <br /><img src=http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3316/3345270671_dd30334798.jpg alt= /><img src=http://i250.photobucket.com/albums/gg271/MrsTeny/AMpageSticker.jpg alt= /> <br /> <br /><img src=http://i250.photobucket.com/albums/gg271/MrsTeny/Permanent%20Collection/Aug09PaperSwapSticker.jpg alt= /> <br /> <br /><img src=http://i80.photobucket.com/albums/j166/ZaarNicksMom/Animation6.gif alt= /> <br /> <br /><img src=http://i80.photobucket.com/albums/j166/ZaarNicksMom/PACsticker-Adopted.jpg alt= /> <br /> <br /><img src=http://i16.photobucket.com/albums/b2/kiwidutch/my3chefs2009final-1.jpg alt= /></p>
