Tips:

For a creamier casserole, use heavy cream instead of milk.
Add a crunchy topping by mixing together melted butter, brown sugar, and chopped pecans, then sprinkling it over the casserole before baking.
If you don't have canned yams, you can use fresh yams. Just peel and boil them until they are tender, then mash them.
To make the casserole ahead of time, bake it according to the recipe instructions, then let it cool completely. Cover it and refrigerate for up to 3 days. When you're ready to serve, reheat it in a 350°F oven until it is warmed through.
This casserole can also be frozen. Bake it according to the recipe instructions, then let it cool completely. Cover it and freeze for up to 2 months. When you're ready to serve, thaw it in the refrigerator overnight, then reheat it in a 350°F oven until it is warmed through.
