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

The casserole was a little bland. I think I would have added more spices to the sweet potato mixture.

The casserole was a little dry. I think I would have added more butter or milk to the sweet potato mixture.

This casserole was a little too sweet for my taste. I think I would have preferred it with a less sweet topping.

I'm not a big fan of sweet potatoes, but I really enjoyed this casserole. The topping was so good and it really balanced out the sweetness of the potatoes.

This casserole is a great way to get your kids to eat their vegetables. The sweet potatoes are hidden in the casserole and the topping is so delicious that they'll never know they're eating vegetables.
