I never made sweet potato casserole before, so I chose this one as it looked easy. It was delicious! My family now wants me to make it for every occasion I can. The recipe is perfect as it is.

I'v been making this a few years now & it is now officially been added as a family tradition. The first year, my cousin was helping putting away leftovers & hid it in the back so no one else would take any home & there would be more for her! It really is that good too!

My Family request this every year for Thanksgiving. I have made it for the last 3 years.

Made this yesterday with just a couple of slight adjustments; used double the amount of sweet potatoes, 1 cup of brown sugar but kept the rest of the ingredients the same. Everyone LOVED it and this looks like it will be my new go to sweet potato recipe! Thx! Oh, and can be prepped in advance, refrigerated and then baked which is always a good thing to be able to do when hosting 10 for dinner!

these were excellent. Made them just as is. company loved them too. Will definitely make again.

I made this dish for Thanksgiving and used only half the sugar. It was delicious and got rave reviews. The next time I make it, however, I will eliminate the sugar altogether. I also used yams rather than sweet potatoes. My method of preparing sweet potatoes/yams is not to bake them but to peel and boil them just like for mashed potatoes.

Almost exactly like the one I make every year for Thanksgiving, except mine has a little coconut in the potatoes. Yummy and always a hit.

This dish has great flavor and texture. I used 1/4c brown sugar instead of the cup of granulated sugar the recipe called for. It was plenty sweet enough and the brown sugar imparts added flavor.

Fantastic! I'll defiantly make again!

Wonderful recipe, love the topping.

My family would be disappointed if this wasn't on the holiday menu. Note: When I first made this recipe, I didn't know how to cook sweet potatoes. After some research, I learned to bake them at 350 for an hour or until the insides are soft (I use a foil lined cookie sheet for easy clean up). I then half them and while still hot I scoop out the insides with a fork- instant mashed potatoes. I then put them in the fridge overnight and make the rest of the dish the next day.

wonderful!! I make it at least twice a year!!

Fantastic! I left out the pecans though....

Due to Covid-19, our Thanksgiving eliminated one family at our table--the side of the family that always brings a sweet potato casserole with the melted marshmallows on top.  So this was my opportunity to try this dish and I was delighted with the result!  Great flavor and wonderful crunch from the topping.  Based on some reviews I read, I cut back on the amount of sugar to about slightly less than 2/3 cup instead of a full cup.  This made it just right in my opinion.  This dish beats that old standard with the marshmallows hands down!

excellent recipe I am asked for this every year with my twist...i use 1/2 cup sugar and 1/2 cup pure maple syrup in the potatos. edited to add..now i can get maple sugar...so i use that instead of the syrup. so half a cup of regular sugar and half a cup of maple sugar.Recipe is wonderful as written, also!!

I've served many sweet potato recipes over the years and this is the family favorite by far!

Yum!!! I omitted the nuts because of allergies, and it was still delicious. I baked it for about 10 minutes longer than what the recipe calls for, which made the topping crispier n the inside a little firmer. I made 1 dish, n it got gobbled up! I think I'll make 2 next time!

i double this recipe but i do not double the sugar or the eggs and not the topping!

Tried this instead of my usual sweet potatoes this Thanksgiving . The group really liked them . I think the vanilla really another layer of flavor that every one liked .I will be making this recipe many times in the future .

Everyone ate this, and had seconds! First time I ever saw guests who normally don't "go" for sweet potatoes "go" for this side dish!
