Awesome Sweet Potato Casserole image

This recipe was given to me in the late 1980s by Diane Thornton in Jackson Mississippi. I have made it each year since, and when I bring it to gatherings people rave about it, so I bring it year after year. Some people say it's more like a desert than a side dish. All I know is that it's a standby for me and always gets a nod.

This casserole is a bit too sweet for my taste. I'll try reducing the amount of sugar next time.
