Wonderful! I try a new sweet potato casserole just about every year for Thanksgiving and had never found one that's just right until now. The perfect level of sweetness and maple flavoring is just the right touch. Lots of crunchy topping, yet it doesn't overwhelm the great taste of sweet potatoes. By the way, sweet potatoes may be cooked by throwing them into a large pot of boiling water and cooking until tender, about 30 minutes. Let cool and remove skin; mash. Thanks, MizzNezz, for a wonderful recipe!

I found a similar recipe to this in a Taste of Home cookbook. I've been making it for years, but mine called for vanilla instead of maple flavoring. I'm anxious to try the maple! Mine also called for more eggs - 3 eggs, but I'm sure it could use less. I always used less sugar than it called for as well - 1/2 cup instead of 1 cup. And on the topping, mine uses 1/2 cup brown sugar - I just don't like it so sweet. Otherwise, I know this recipe would be wonderful! Thanks for posting!

After DH and I moved away from the farm, and to the city...I haven't done as much cooking and very little canning. But I do come to Zaar and look for new recipes once in a while. I'm still cooking Zaar!!
I like to play at Facebook, with my family and friends. A lot of my Zaar friends are there!! Yay! It's a good way to keep in touch.
We travel more. We're looking at the European trips now. Hope to go in the springtime. I really want to see London, I think I lived there in a past life, I've been obsessed with it since I was 10 years old!!
