Sweet Potato Casserole

Back when I lived in northern Illinois, the holidays were a pretty big deal. My extended family would get together for a HUGE dinner with all the fixings. My Aunt made these rich, scrumptious sweet potatoes one Thanksgiving, and I begged her for the recipe. Maybe it will become one of your favorites too!
