This casserole is a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I'll try reducing the amount of sugar next time.

This casserole is a great way to use up leftover sweet potatoes. I always have a few extra after Thanksgiving and this is a great way to use them up.

The only thing I would change about this recipe is to add a bit more spice. I think a teaspoon of cinnamon or nutmeg would really enhance the flavor.
