Delish! They look so beautiful, too!


After all the sweet potato casseroles through the years, this recipe is simply wonderful! I'll be making this for Thanksgiving! I just love crock pot recipes!


I've always preferred candied yams over the sweet potato casseroles. But that's "juse me".

Thanks for this recipe, always looking for something I can make without using the Stove for thanksgiving looking forward to trying this


The layer of potatoes on top are still a little hard. When the sugars melted down it left that top layer high and dry. I basted them and extended the crock time a little.

Potatoes were very good.

I am tempted to use 2 tablespoons of corn starch next time to make the coating just a little thicker.
