My family loves sweet potato casserole and this one is excellent! I made it as written, using the brown sugar option instead of the granulated sugar. Since there were no children eating this, I opted to use just the cornflake topping, as we didn't want the added sweetness from the marshmallows. I can definitely see why this is a regular on your Thanksgiving day table. Thank you for sharing! **Made for 2019 Football Pool**
