Countdown to Thanksgiving - Sweet Potato Casserole

My Aunt Melinda is famous for her Sweet Potato Casserole. It would not be Thanksgiving without it. This casserole is so good that when I was in college she would make an extra casserole for me so I could have the leftovers to take back to Lubbock with me. When my sister was studying in London and missed Thanksgiving she wished my aunt could have mailed her a casserole but settled for having it during Christmas instead. It is so good you could put it in a pie crust and eat it for dessert. YOU MUST TRY this recipe. You will NOT be disappointed!
