Even though it says it's a "not too sweet" recipe I thought it was a bit too sweet, I'll cut back on the sugar next time. Other than that it's fantastic!!!

That sounds like something my grandma used to make only it also had pecans in the topping. It was so good. I don't think hers had the eggnog though. I'm going to try this one.

You mentioned about cutting back on the sugar. Are you talking about in the sweet potato part or the topping?

I'm not quite sure, maybe cut it all out in the potatoes and just have the topping. The topping is good!

I love this recipe. I have made it before using chopped pecan pieces in the topping.
My hubby thinks it's on the sweet side, but I love it just as it is.
