Gingerbread Sweet Potato Casserole image

A crisp gingersnap topping earns this Southern sweet potato casserole high marks. Purchase crisp gingersnap cookies rather than the soft variety for making the streusel.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my casserole turned out dry. I think I might have overcooked the sweet potatoes.

This casserole was a little too sweet for my taste, but my kids loved it. I think I'll try it again with less sugar next time.

I'm not a huge fan of sweet potatoes, but this casserole changed my mind. It was so flavorful and moist. I loved the crunchy pecan topping.

This recipe was a hit at my Thanksgiving dinner! The combination of sweet potatoes and gingerbread spices was unique and delicious. I will definitely be making this again next year.
