Notes
To bake the sweet potatoes before making this casserole, place washed sweet potatoes on a baking sheet and using a knife, poke 2 slits into each. Bake at 400* for 45-55 minutes or until a knife pierces the potato easily. Let cool until potatoes can be handled, about 10-15 minutes or so. Remove skins carefully. Proceed with instructions above.
