I had high hopes for this casserole, but it was a bit of a disappointment. The sweet potatoes were not cooked all the way through, and the coconut and pecans were too overpowering.

This casserole was a bit too sweet for my taste, but my family loved it. I think I would reduce the amount of sugar next time.
