I was so excited to try this recipe……. but was disappointed. it was soooo sweet. I would cut the 1 cup of white sugar to 1/2 cup, maybe even 1/4 cup. The topping was good but again, it was too much, maybe cut that in half also.
So delicious will make again used maple syrup in the sweet potatoes instead of white sugar. Just about 3 tbsps.
This is the same recipe my mother got from my grandmother. We have had this for every family Thanksgiving & Christmas (ok every big family dinner for any reason) that I can remember, at least 40 years. We always have to make one batch without nuts due to nut allergies in the family & it still is yummy!
Best sweet potato casserole ever!!!! I make this every Thanksgiving Holiday and it’s always a hit. Thank you for another wonderful recipe!! It’s a keeper!!
It was simple to make and I also added a teaspoon ground cinnamon a pinch of nutmeg and tablespoon of real vanilla. My family ABSULOTELY loved it!!
This is a pretty good recipe, but I made the following amendments and it puts it over the top! Everyone loves it and requests me to make it for special occasions. I OMIT the egg. I ADD fresh grated nutmeg (about a tsp), cinnamon (about half tsp), and salt to taste to the mix. I’m surprised the recipe doesn’t mention salt as it adds balance to the flavor. It is a little sweet so I use extra sweet potato (about half cup) or reduce sugar to 3/4 cup for the mix. TRY IT!

Excited to hear rave reviews for this dish since it was different than my now retired recipe. “Best ever!” “Better than how it used to be!” “Don’t go back!” With reviews like that I had to give this recipe 5 stars!
Has anyone tried making this ahead of time and freezing it? Did you bake it first, or freeze it unbaked? Best casserole ever with a slight reduction in the amount of sugar 🙂 Thanks for any replys I get.
Made this thrice and a hit every time. Neighbors friends family all love this. Its my goto recipe for a sweet potato dessert
It was easy to make and delicious….I will make it again and again..
