Recipe Comments and Reviews Sort by: Reviews General Comments View All » Rating This is a definite hit. I added a bit of crumbled bacon to the topping . . .YUM! Posted November 27, 2013 by Dee Rating Oh my goodness, this is terrific! My family is not fond of sweet potato dishes that are overly sweet. This one has just a hint of sweetness, mostly coming from the sugared pecans, but the true flavor of the sweet potatoes shines through. Also, I didn't have green onions but fresh chives worked great.
