This recipe was a bit bland for my taste. I think I would add more chipotle peppers next time.

This casserole was a hit with my family! The sweet potatoes were perfectly tender and the chipotle cream sauce was so flavorful. I added a bit of extra cayenne pepper for a little more heat. Definitely a keeper!
