Sweet Potato Casserole

This is one of my favorite side dishes at Thanksgiving!  I will have to admit, I received this long time recipe from my Ammaw.  Every single time this casserole appears, I have to get a second helping because it only appears once a year.  Now that I’m an adult, I make this delicious sweet potato casserole for extended family.
