I've tried this recipe twice now and both times it's been a disaster. I'm giving up.

I'm not a big fan of sweet potato casserole, but this one was actually really good. The pecan topping was the best part.

This casserole was a bit too sweet for my taste, but my family loved it. I think next time I'll use less brown sugar.
