Here is another great sweet potato casserole submitted by our visitor name Joanna from Kings Park, New York.

Joanna had this to say about her recipe, "My sister and I were alone for Christmas Eve this year. I really did not intend to make a big meal, but as I looked through my cabinets, I kept pulling out ingredients that were perfect for a holiday meal. When I found a large can of sweet potatoes, I decided to give it a go.

Every year, it seems like someone makes a sweet potato casserole topped with sweet marshmallows. I usually avoid it like the plague, as it makes me teeth hurt just to think about it.  This casserole, with a lovely crumb topping is a perfect alternative."

Here is the recipe for you to try and enjoy!

This was pretty good (by: Anonymous) 
I liked that you didn't use marshmallow on top. I added 1 teaspoon vanilla to the dish and 1/2 teaspoon of ginger to the dish and it gave the sweet potatoes a whole different taste. I like to have the potatoes candied so I did not put the crumb topping on until after I cooked the potatoes for 30 minutes in the oven then added the crumb topping for 15 minutes until golden brown. They were really good. Thanks for the recipe.
