Place the cut sweet potatoes in a lightly greased casserole dish, poke the meaty area of the potato with a fork to make it more tender. In a bowl, melt the butter, then add the other ingredients and mix. Spoon the mixture on top of the sweet potato pieces.  Bake at 350 degrees for 30 – 40 minutes.  After 30 minutes, poke the potatoes with a fork to check for tenderness.

Not that I think you will have any leftovers, but just in case you do, I suggest reheating in the microwave. This will keep the potatoes moist.  Baking them again could dry them out.
