New family favorite

I love love love the sweet potato casserole at Damon's, and even more when I order it for dessert with vanilla ice cream. However, trying to save money and not eat out so often, I haven't gotten my fix in a while. But I found this recipe, which is *almost* as good as eating out. In the future, I will chop up the pecans (bought chopped pecans at the store, but they were still too big) and spread the topping more. It didn't quite spread all over like I wanted.

I doubled the recipe, which ended up being too much even for a big family get together. I don't have the source, so I will add that when I find it!
