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.
