I wasn't sure how this combination of flavors would go over, but it was a definite hit at our Thanksgiving gathering, and is now a regular part of our yearly holiday menu.

Such a great twist on our family favorite of Mac and Cheese…My kids love sweet potatoes too, so this dish was a huge hit for our family. Thanks Cabot!
