This recipe is really affordable to make. I was able to feed my family of four for under $10.

I used low-fat sausage and light brown sugar to make this dish a little healthier. It was still very flavorful, and my family loved it.

I love spicy food, so I added a teaspoon of cayenne pepper to the sausage mixture. It gave the dish a nice kick, but it wasn't too hot.

I'm not a big fan of sausage, so I substituted ground turkey. It turned out really well, and I would definitely make this dish again.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my sweet potatoes were still hard after 4 hours on low. I had to cook them for an additional 2 hours to get them to soften.

This dish is a great way to use up leftover sweet potatoes. I added a few extra spices to the sausage mixture, and it turned out really flavorful.
