Sweet Potato Casserole with Praline Topping

Dear Auntie,

I read about your Thanksgiving dinner with friends on your blog and am sending the recipe below.  If it is not similar to what your friends made, tweak away.  My friend Carole now brings this for every Thanksgiving and Christmas, and it replaced my old favorite, candied yams. 

The casserole is absolutely yummy and I have been known to make more of the praline topping than the recipe calls for  ;-)
