Joan and Angela at home in Midland VA late 1990's
Bake at 350°F for
30 minutes.

This recipe was given to me by a neighbor and friend, Dorothy Cunningham, when we lived in Warrenton Lakes.

 This is a Thanksgiving Family favorite!


Special note:  Last time I made this casserole, I roasted the sweet potatoes in the oven, scooped out the potato, mashed them and continued with the recipe above.   Wow...roasting the potato enhanced the sweet potato flavor even more!
