Sweet Potato Casserole - Great for the holidays or potlucks!



This casserole is so yummy and in my opinion, way better than the usual casserole topped with marshmallows at Thanksgiving. This is so good, you just might want to have it for dessert instead!

Sweet Potato Casserole

6 cups cooked, mashed sweet potatoes (approximately 3 large potatoes)
1 cup sugar
2 eggs
1 tsp. vanilla extract
1/3 cup milk
1/2 cup butter, softened

Topping:
1 cup brown sugar
1/3 cup flour
1/3 cup butter, softened (do not melt)
1 cup finely chopped pecans

1) Combine sweet potatoes, sugar, eggs, vanilla, milk, and 1/2 cup butter. Beat with electric mixer until smooth. Spoon into greased 13X9 in. pan.

2) Combine brown sugar, flour, 1/3 cup butter, and pecans. Sprinkle over top. Bake at 350 deg. for 30 min.

Makes 8-10 servings.

  2. Try this cold with icecream. It's like dessert. Or, if you're really daring, have it slightly frozen! I'm gonna check out your blog girlie. How you feeling??

    as far as how i'm feeling....ugh. the morning (all-day) sickness is increasing daily. God is helping me though. It is milder than usual so more manageable. Thanks for your prayers.
