  • Top each bottom bun with 1 T. of the sweet potato mixture, about 1 tsp. of the cream cheese mixture and finally the top half of each bun.
  • Pour all of the salted caramel over the tops of the buns and sprinkle with the toasted walnuts.
  • Place the casserole in the oven for about 15 minutes to heat through. Say Grace and enjoy!
