-Heather #2
"This was wonderful. I had no idea it would be so easy to make my own cranberry sauce instead of eating the canned stuff!"
-TexasKelly
"We really enjoy this during the holidays. It's best when the squash is cut into large chunks so that the outside gets a maple-flavored crust and the inside stays soft and delicious."
-Pianolady
"I love the combination of flavors and the fact that it is made in the crock pot — it keeps the oven free for other sides and it's so easy."

-HokiesMom
"When I had that first bite full of brown sugar and melted butter, I was in heaven. Note: I think this tastes best piping hot."
-Burned Toast

-Brooke the Cook in WI
"I have been making this recipe for years and years, and it is still a family favorite. The only change I make is to add four carrots along with the turnips, which makes it slightly sweeter."
-Annie1234
"These are a lot more interesting than plain roasted or baked potatoes, and they're easy to do. The slices fan out as the potatoes cook, so in addition to tasting great, they look pretty, too!"
-Kookaburra
"This recipe filled the kitchen with a fabulous aroma, looked great in the serving dish and was a big hit with our family."
-ZONA FOODIES
"These are the best sweet potatoes! I think baking the potatoes makes a huge difference."
-Roxygirl in Colorado
"This recipe makes Thanksgiving so much easier. Depending on how you make it, it can be light and creamy or a thicker, heartier gravy. Either way, it has full, rich flavor!"
-Charmie777
"This is such a nice and easy recipe. The lemon juice really freshened up the green beans, and the toasted almonds were a great touch."
-Morningfeather
"Very easy and yummy. I used 2 pounds of fresh diced potatoes and increased the cooking time by about 10 minutes and it was perfect! I substituted cream of celery soup for the cream of mushroom and it was delicious. I also doubled the onions and I used margarine instead of butter. My only comment is the casserole was quite oily - maybe that was because I used margarine. I think you could sugnificantly cut back on the margarine (maybe even eliminate it altogether) because the soup and sour cream mixture provides plenty of moisture. I also topped the casserole with another small handful of cheese when there was about 10 minutes of cooking time left. Bottom line - a big time hit at my house! Rich, creamy and cheesy!"
-Susie D
"I loved this! I typically have roasted beets on hand, and this was a nice and different way to use them."

-Kelly_Green
"This is a fantastic recipe, and it's so easy to put together. It came out so creamy and cheesy. It's hard to believe that it's made from instant mashed potatoes!"
-yooper
