My husband and I used to attend a certain dinner theater every year for our anniversary. This was their specialty dish. How kind of them to give out the recipe to anyone that asked for it. I have used this for 15 years and even my friends and family that don't care for sweet potatoes enjoy this. It's rich and delicious. No more marshmallows atop the sweet potato casserole for Thanksgiving!
