The vegetables are cooked just right and are full of flavor. The seasonings are simply spot on and the broth yields a fabulous gravy-like sauce that is divine when poured over everything prior to serving.

This sweet potato casserole is perfect for your holiday meals! I love Ruth's Chris version and this one is just as good. It is more a dessert than a side dish, but its so good. If you have it for a dessert, add vanilla ice cream and its even a bigger hit!
