Reviews
I am giving this 2 stars because at the VERY least it contains some semblance of vegetable. However, as a dessert it would likely be given a 4 star rating minus about half of the sugar. Let’s be clear here, this is NOT a casserole but could be classified as a type of baked pudding dessert. Enjoy!
This is way too sweet. To correct use no sugar in sweet potato mixture. It just isn’t needed.
A bit sweet for me; but, everyone at the potluck loved it and it was all gone in no time. I made a double quantity and it was enough for the 33 people who attended.
Used 1/2 brown sugar instead of all white sugar Yummy – delicious!!!
Although highly rated by others, I cut the sugar by a third and still found it so sweet as to be inedible. The flavour of the sweet potatoes is completely overpowered. A half cup of brown sugar in the topping would be more than sufficient and omit the white sugar added to the sweet potato mixture.
I always make my own changes to a recipe like, adding a little more cinnamon and a dash of nutmeg. I also like a thick topping, but the rest is the same.
This was delicious! My brother-in-law said he doesn’t like the sweet potatoes with marshmallows so I was on the hunt for a recipe without them. I got rave reviews! I didn’t use all of the topping but saved the left overs for another round! Thank you for sharing this wonderful recipe!
It’s delicious!
