Diane Thornton gave me this awesome sweet potato casserole recipe in the late 1980s in Jackson, Mississippi. I have made it each year since, and when I bring it to gatherings, people rave about it, so I bring it year after year. Some people say it's more like a dessert than a side dish. All I know is it's a standby for me and always gets a nod.
