Sweet Potato Casserole

From the kitchen of Jerry Bryant

"Growing up in Alabama I was surrounded by great cooks. I have many fond memories of my mother and grandmother cooking a plentiful variety of flavors. On any given day we could have a bounty of fresh okra, squash, beans, tomatoes (often fried), watermelon, cantaloupe, fried chicken, BBQ, biscuits, and every casserole you can think of." –Jerry
