Sweet Potato Meringue Bake image

This sweet potato meringue casserole is a slightly sweeter variation of the original, minus the extra sugar. It's simple enough to throw together even after the holidays. For more sauce, you can add extra water, butter, brown sugar or maple syrup to the filling before baking. Rum, brandy or lemon zest can be added to change up the flavor. -Kathy Kinomoto, Bothell, Washington

I'm not a big fan of sweet potatoes, but this recipe changed my mind. The meringue topping is the perfect complement to the sweet potatoes.
