    I made this today for Easter dinner. I like the fact that you can assemble the day ahead. However, I followed the instructions on setting the bourbon "aflame" but had no luck with that happening. Therefore, I'm not sure if that effected the final outcome and flavor of the dish. Secondly, I juiced and zested one lemon as instructed, but it was a rather juicey lemon and it overpowered the flavor of the sweet potatoes, maple, & bourbon. It was still edible but, again, very citrusy in flavor. Thirdly, the crumb topping was not as delectible as some recipes that I've tried. It browned but never got crunchy. The butter to flour ratio didn't seem appropriate. I will keep looking for a good sweet potatoe casserole recipe.

    Just a few slight changes after reading some of the previous reviews and suggestions -- I used a half and half mixture of lemon juice and orange juice, some Valencia orange zest, then added a cup of heavy whipping cream to smooth the consistency.

    Delicious and flavorful, a great twist on sweet potatoes. I made these for a non-holiday and my guests loved them. Definitely going in the recipe box.

    Made this recipe for the past 2 years and everyone loved it. Nice change up from the gooey marshmallow topping. I made it with extra topping the second time.

    this is the best sweet potato recipe I've ever used. Instead of lemon, I find orange juice and zest really bring out a great flavor in this dish. Otherwise, it is perfect as is! Don't wait for a special holiday, try it now! My family demands it every year in bigger and bigger portions!

    and these are easily the best sweet potatoes I have ever had. My grandson who's only 17 months thought so too, he kept going for them across the table. I will definitely be doing these every year for Thanksgiving and some in between. Someone had given us a whiskey blended with honey that I would never buy and it was great in this.

    My brother made these for Thanksgiving. I found the recipe very tasty and lighter and better tasting than the average sweet potato. The lemon was a nice surprise. I've since printed this recipe for next year. Thank you, Food Network.

    I put the sweet potatoes in the oven as directed. 1 hour a 375 degrees. They were soft on the outside and hard in the center, so when I went to mix in the lemon, brown sugar and syrup it was a disaster. As a result, I went to Thanksgiving empty handed. Thanks a bunch!
