I love this sweet potato casserole, Judy, but I’m the only one in my family who does! I used to make it for Thanksgiving, but I’d end up eating the whole darn thing myself (not all at once, mind you!). So, now, I just enjoy it at other folk’s houses—-I’ll be up there tomorrow! Haha…just kididing, though I know I’d love sitting at your table.
By the way, I’ve never seen it with molasses in it. I might have to make some just to see what that tastes like.
This sounds so good but I have never made them fresh. Maybe this year I will give this a try.. Thank you for coming by and have a nice Thanksgiving.
I need to try this with molasses next time at Thanksgiving. I know what I will do 2 weeks before the holidays….look here for all my dishes.
Hi Sandy, Lots of holiday recipes on the blog. I hope you enjoy!
I love your website. I’ve gotten so many great recipes from you. Thanks for all your work.
Mmm, sorghum. These look wonderful.
