Becoming a tradition for Thanksgiving. I use the yellow sweet potatoes and not the orange ones. I find that the orange ones are too dense and wet and the yellow ones are more fluffy like regular potatoes. This is a very sweet casserole - almost like a dessert!
Ingredients:
4 -5 cups peeled cooked and mashed yellow sweet potatoes
1/2 cup melted butter
1/3 cup milk
1/2 white sugar (*)
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
2 eggs, beaten
3/4 cup brown sugar (*)
1/2 cup flour
1/3 cup butter
1 cup chopped pecans
Directions:
1. *Bothsugar amounts can be lessened if you don't want it too sweet (like maybe 1/3 cup white sugar and 1/2 cup brown sugar).
2. Preheat oven to 350°.
3. Grease a 9x13 baking dish.
4. In a large bowl, mix together mashed sweet potatoes, 1/2 cup melted butter, milk, white sugar, vanilla, and eggs.
5. Spread into baking dish.
6. In a small bowl mix brown sugar and flour.
7. Using a pastry cutter (or a fork if you don't have one) cut in butter until it's all crumbly, then stir in the pecans.
8. Sprinkle over top of the potatoes.
9. Bake 25-30 minutes.
