Notes

High cost per serving as I have not seen canned sweet potatoes, yet. I think the way to make this would be to use homemade sweet potatoes first and use that in this recipe, that would make this Low cost per serving. I do not have a homemade recipe for the sweet potatoes but will be adding one.
Variant: 1. I think pork chops would work well in this recipe, I will try this as well.
