Classic Sweet Potato Casserole – Just The Way Grandpa Likes It!

I have made this for church luncheons with all of the people we go to worship with as well. Almost every woman I know there has come up to me at some point or another to ask for the recipe. There is never any hesitation on my part to spread the knowledge of this mouthwatering casserole. I just always remind them not to bring it to church…or we’re going to have doubles because I’m not going to stop sharing it each and every time.

Every day is a special occasion when you are serving this to your loved ones.
