Sweet Potato Casserole

I really like sweet potatoes. I prefer them on the savory and salty side rather than sweet. I refuse to eat them from a can, and I'd rather poke my eyes with a spork than put marshmallows on them.
This casserole is sweet. And delicious. I love it much too much.
It most definitely earned it's spot on the Thanksgiving traditional family menu.
I got this recipe from my church friend, who made it for a couple of Relief Society (our church's women's organization) functions. She has been making it for her family for over 35 years.
The last time I had it, my mother in law made it, and she only put 1/2 cup of sugar into it. It still tasted just as great. So, that's an option!
