Gingerbread Sweet Potato Casserole image

A crisp gingersnap topping earns this Southern sweet potato casserole high marks. Purchase crisp gingersnap cookies rather than the soft variety for making the streusel.

This casserole was a little too sweet for my taste. I think I would have liked it better if I had used less sugar.

This casserole was okay, but not great. The sweet potatoes were a little too mushy for my taste. I think I would have liked it better if I had used less marshmallows.

I was disappointed with this casserole. The sweet potatoes were bland and the gingerbread spices were overpowering. I wouldn't make this again.

This casserole was easy to make and turned out great. I didn't have any marshmallows on hand, so I used crushed graham crackers instead. It was still delicious.
