My family loved this delicious sweet potato casserole, baked with a crunchy pecan and brown sugar topping.

Ingredients:

  • 2 pounds sweet potatoes (3 cups mashed)
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla
  • 4 tablespoons melted butter
  • .
  • Topping:
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 4 tablespoons melted butter
  • 1/2 cup chopped pecans

Preparation:

Scrub sweet potatoes and cut in half if large. Boil in their jackets until tender. Cool; slip the peels off and mash well. Stir in sugar and salt. Whisk together the eggs, milk, vanilla, and 4 tablespoons melted butter. Stir into the mashed sweet potato mixture until smooth and well blended. Spoon the mixture into a lightly buttered 2-quart baking dish. Combine remaining ingredients; sprinkle over the sweet potato mixture. Bake at 350° for 35 to 45 minutes.
Serves 6 to 8.

"I just made this for a pot luck at work and everyone loved it (including me). It was so easy to make. I doubled it and all of the ingredients were doubled as well. I would probably not double the Vanilla next time and bake for a little bit longer but even still, everyone loved it. And the container was completely empty by the end. Thanks for the recipe."
