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!
