This casserole was a disappointment. It was bland and lacked flavor.

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

I'm not sure why this recipe is called 'sweet potato casserole with coconut' because I couldn't taste any coconut at all.
