Ruth's Chris Sweet Potato Casserole

Ruth's Chris Sweet Potato Casserole

We normally prefer the low calorie and more heath conscious recipes however this one is by far one of our favorite cheat day sides.  The sweet potato casserole from Ruth's Chris Steakhouse is unbelievably delicious.  I won't lie we have modified it several time to cut down on the sugars and fat etc and there several options to do so (we'll share those on another recipe) but regardless of if you modify the recipe or not this has become as regular at our Thanksgiving and Holidays meals...Yum!
