I confess to altering the recipe a bit just because everyone is sick of the sugary sweet version. So I omitted the sugar and added 1/4 cup of honey. I swapped milk for cream. No nuts or marshmallows.
It was delicious. A real side dish and less of a sticky dessert. It took close to an hour to bake. But everyone had seconds. We will never make it the old way again.

Is this a soufflé in the traditional Cordon Bleu sense? No, it’s not BUT it is light, it does rise and is impressive. I omitted the marshmallow topping and used drained, canned yams… The two groups of people I served these to absolutely raved. I’ve shared the recipe with 6 people after 2 dinners serving these. The balance of the spice to sweet is great… presentation is spot on! And just what is promised – a good dish with some of the shortcuts to make this an easy side to prepare

For those who need to take down a recipe based upon a name; go ahead, call the FN admin and see if you can pitch a show which remains on the air year after year. How many cookbooks have you sold? Most important – don’t waste others’ time who are looking for true feedback.

I highly reccomend this recipe! It was delicious!!! I didn’t find it too sweet and heavy. The best part was that it was very quick to assemble and didn’t take very long to bake. This recipe is a keeper!

Really good!

Recipe was just ok. Very easy but not super impressive. I doubt I would make it again. I did skip the marshmallow however so maybe that would have made a difference. I was looking for a side dish though, not a dessert.

These were surprisingly easy and turned out great! Very festive and looked like I was a gourmet cook (NOT)!! They are very sweet-almost a dessert! Will do these at Thanksgiving next year!

I love your shows and of course your recipes, but I want pictures of the decorations you made. I can’t find it in the FN page. Can you tell me were I can’t find it or can you send it by e-mail. Please let me know.THX!

Yes, a name does matter. Otherwise I can call this tuna noodle casserole with no problem. Souffles rise. This didn’t. I’m also amazed someone can rate a recipe without having made it. That’s always helpful. call it sweet potato surprise or Sandra’s sweet potatoes. but not a souffle.

actually i loved the dish for those who have to have everything just so-so or politically correct why rain on our parades it seems like no matter what it is somebody has to gripe about something, for pete’s sakes this for fun good food and i think sandra lee is a wonderful person read about her life and the hard climb she had if you don’t like her recipes then don’t know those of us who like what she does she’s a gem in my opinion
it was a fun lovely recipe and my family and friends loved it
just a hillbilly a name by any other name is a souffle

Who cares what the name of a recipe is…served these at Thanksgiivng, and my grandchildren gave the recipe five stars–loved it. A souffle is a “puffed up” dish, and I have many souffle recipes from my French cookbooks made the same way. I think some people are “puffed up” themselves and intent on demeaning Sandra. Hmmmmm. I wonder why they watch her show if her recipes are beneath them. Keep up those shortcuts, Sandra. Love your creativity and time-saving recipes when I’m in a hurry.
