Personal Notes:
I started making this dish because I love sweet potatoes but the mixture was always too sweet for my body. I started substituting the brown sugar with Splenda brown sugar for the topping and Stevia to sweeten the potato mixture to make it diabetic friendly. My family tried it and it became a big hit. No one really knew I used a sugar substitute to sweeten the casserole. That’s why I’m adding it to the recipe book. It can be made regularly with real sugar or just as good with a sugar substitute.
