AWESOME SWEET POTATO CASSEROLE
This recipe was given to me in the late 1980s by Diane Thornton in Jackson Mississippi. I have made it each year since, and when I bring it to gatherings people rave about it, so I bring it year after year. Some people say it's more like a desert than a side dish. All I know is that it's a standby for me and always gets a nod.

Tips:
- Use Fresh Pineapple: Fresh pineapple chunks provide a vibrant flavor and texture to the dish. If using canned pineapple, choose unsweetened chunks for a healthier option.
- Coconut Milk Options: For a richer flavor, use full-fat coconut milk. If desiring a lighter version, use light coconut milk or a blend of coconut milk and water.
- Spices and Herbs: Experiment with different spices and herbs to create unique flavor combinations. Popular choices include garlic, ginger, curry powder, cumin, and cilantro.
- Adjust Heat Level: Control the amount of chili peppers or cayenne pepper to suit your preferred heat level. Start with a small amount and gradually increase until desired spiciness is achieved.
- Timing is Key: Be careful not to overcook the potatoes. Cook until they are tender but still hold their shape to maintain a slight bite.
