This is another great side dish from Carolina Cooking. I made a couple of changes, I cut the sweet potatoes in rounds instead of lengthwise and I raised the temperature to 400 instead of 350. It also called for baked sweet potatoes, I was confused if that meant to bake them in the oven first then peel and slice. I suppose you could try it this way too.

Peel and cut the potatoes. Place a layer in a casserole. Mix the rest of the ingredients and spoon over the potatoes. Alternate with the layers. Bake covered in 400F for 30 minutes and uncover and cook for another 10 minutes.
