Sweet Potato-Jalapeno Casserole image

Guests pedal their way to an outdoor feast in Key West, FL.Shaded by palm fronds and papaya trees, guests dining at the Shields home prop their vehicles in the backyard. Donna Shields beams as her guests start to arrive on bikes.

Overall, I thought this casserole was just okay. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't anything special either.

This casserole was a little too spicy for my taste, but my husband loved it. I think next time I'll use half the amount of jalapenos.
