Sweet Potato Meringue Bake image

This sweet potato meringue casserole is a slightly sweeter variation of the original, minus the extra sugar. It's simple enough to throw together even after the holidays. For more sauce, you can add extra water, butter, brown sugar or maple syrup to the filling before baking. Rum, brandy or lemon zest can be added to change up the flavor. -Kathy Kinomoto, Bothell, Washington

I thought this recipe was just okay. The sweet potato filling was a bit bland and the meringue topping was too sweet.

This was a bit too sweet for my taste, but it was still a good recipe. I would recommend using less sugar in the meringue topping.

This was a great recipe! The instructions were easy to follow and the bake turned out perfectly. The only thing I would change is to add a little more salt to the sweet potato mixture.

I'm not usually a fan of sweet potato dishes, but this bake was surprisingly delicious! The meringue topping was the perfect complement to the sweet potatoes, and the cinnamon and nutmeg added a nice warm flavor.
