For Thanksgiving, my mother made the basic green beans, baked sweet potatoes and corn as her sides so I have had to kick it up for myself and using this recipe has transformed me from my mother's do-again-and-agains to "Wow! Can we come to your house for Thanksgiving dinner?"

This has been a Thanksgiving regular (& favorite) for our family for years! Warning: we once thought with so much to do (there are 40 of us that attend) we would try a shortcut & mash canned yams. It didn't compare! It's worth the work to bake & mash fresh sweet potatoes! Everyone loves the topping! Now, marshmallows pale in comparison.

Googled and found this recipe for Thanksgiving. Everyone loved it and wanted left overs. None left. Requested for Christmas dinner. Will make enough for everyone to take home. P.S. I excluded the pecans.

Sweet potatoes on sale at our local Walmart, so needed a new recipe. Recipe was simple, yet absolutely decadent. Love the suggestion to make the topping ahead of time, to speed up prep on day needed. Even the most inexperienced cook can pull this recipe off with flying colors.

I may need a 12 step recovery program to curb my addiction to this recipe. Wow! Used Splenda and the Splenda brown sugar as I am a low carb guy. This recipe ROCKS!

I just randomly found this online. Made it for Thanksgiving for the very first time for our family. EVERYONE raved about it. Easy and great recipe.

Excellent recipe, thank you. FYI I added and tbsp. of cinnamon and it kicked up a notch. Unbelievable and only thing we did not have left over. Doubled as dessert for my family.

I made this for a Thanksgiving dinner with my housemates and friends. This was one of the most popular dishes. I have already had several requests for "my recipe." I added a touch of cinnamon and omitted the coconut (due to allergies). Quite wonderful.

 Susan (New York) says:
Love this recipe! I have made this casserole for every Thanksgiving gathering I go to. I have lightened it up because I have some family members who are diabetic but everyone loves it and honestly never noticed I lightened it up!

I found this recipe back in 2005, while googling for a sweet potato casserole dish. I came across this one. Thought it looked easy, so I would try it. I have made this dish every Thanksgiving and Christmas since. My family loves it. I even have to make it for work parties now. It has such a great flavor, and really is easy to make. The recipe is perfect, don't change it at all.

This recipe rocks - my family loves to justify this "dessert" veggie as a veggie serving. I am not allowed to make any other sweet potatoe dish! Looking forward to Thanksgiving to make it again.
