This was the worst casserole I've ever had. The sweet potatoes were mushy and the bacon was burnt. I would not recommend this recipe to anyone.

I'm not a big fan of sweet potatoes, but this casserole was actually really good. The bacon and spices helped to balance out the sweetness of the potatoes.

This casserole is a great way to use up leftover sweet potatoes. It's also a great dish to make ahead of time.

This recipe was a disaster! The casserole was dry and bland. I followed the recipe exactly, but it just didn't turn out right.

This casserole was delicious! The sweet potatoes were perfectly cooked and the bacon added a nice smoky flavor. I will definitely be making this again.

This casserole was a bit too spicy for my taste, but my husband loved it. I'll definitely be making it again, but I'll use less cayenne pepper next time.

This casserole was a hit at our family dinner! The combination of sweet potatoes, bacon, and spices was perfect. I especially loved the crispy bacon on top.
