FLAVOR GALORE!!! This is a popular dish in my area and it is also my Aunt Catherine's recipe. The dish always comes back empty from a potluck! The crunchy goodness on top is what makes this casserole go over well. A great dish to have any time of the year. Ingredients:
5 sweet potatoes, mashed |
1/2 cup sugar |
1/4 cup milk |
1 egg, beaten |
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon |
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg |
2 tablespoons butter, melted |
2 teaspoons vanilla extract |
1/2 cup butter, melted |
1/2 cup brown sugar |
1/2 cup corn flakes, crushed |
1/2 cup chopped nuts |
Directions:
1. Note for quick method of cooking sweet potatoes - I put the sweet potatoes in a baking dish and add 1/4 cup of water. Put a lid on and microwave for approximately 20 minutes. After they have cooled, peel and mash.
2. Mix all 8 ingredients for sweet potato mixture. Pour into a greased casserole dish. Bake in a 350 degree oven for 35 minutes and see below for crunchy topping.
3. Mix all 4 ingredients for topping and sprinkle over potatoes. Bake for an additional 8 minutes and remove from oven.
4. Enjoy!
