This is a hit at any function I take it too. Even those that don't like sweet potatoes, myself included, love this dish. Never have to worry about leftovers with it. Thanks

This is one of our families must haves for years. I have to make 3, 1 for my son, 1 with nuts in the topping and 1 without nuts for my husband who has Chrones disease. My son and I can make a meal on this alone. It is good enough to be a dessert. We love you Paula!!

Have prepared this for tomorrow. Made an extra dish and the family sampled tonight. Very rich, sweet and delicious. My husband said "Good stuff - Maynard!" and that it could also be a dessert. :D Tonya B. Maynard

I have made this recipe for 35 years. It is the best Sweet Potato Casserole ever. I don't know how many people I have given the recipe to. I don't use but 2 TBSP. of butter in the topping. I like the topping alittle more crunchy. I also just used all purpose flour, which works great. Thanks for putting this southern recipe up for all to have.
