You can't have a holiday dinner without a sweet potato souffle! And this is a wonderful version. I got this from my mother-in-law, who got the recipe from a neighbor.

4 sweet potatoes, cut into chunks

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 ½ cups brown sugar

This casserole is a bit too sweet for my taste, but it's still good. I think I'll try using less sugar next time.

This casserole was a disaster! The sweet potatoes were raw and the pecan topping was burnt. I followed the recipe exactly, so I'm not sure what went wrong.

I thought this casserole was just okay. The sweet potatoes were a bit too mushy for my taste and the pecan topping was a bit bland. I probably won't make this again.
