"I found this recipe years ago in a magazine (don't remember which one). It uses sweet potatoes for the topping instead of white potatoes. It's a delicious variation that I hope you'll try."

This is a very tasty recipe containing all the ingredients that I love. I used a tin of chili diced tomatoes and I added a 1/2 teaspoon of nutmeg to the mashed sweet potatoes. There are definately 6 servings - I have frozen 2 serving and will post a further review when I serve the frozen. Thanks Kathy I loved our dinner last night.
