Sweet Potato Casserole

Serving Size:

Makes 10-12 servings

Ingredients:

• 3 1/2 cups sweet potatoes boiled and mashed
• 1 cup brown sugar
• 2 eggs, beaten
• 1 teaspoon vanilla
• 1/3 cup milk

Topping:

• 1/2 cup melted butter
• 3/4 cup brown sugar
• 1/3 cup flour
• 1 cup pecans, chopped

Method:

Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease bottom and sides of a 9″ casserole pan. Mix together mashed sweet potatoes, brown sugar, eggs, vanilla and milk. Spread sweet potato mixture evenly in pan.

In a separate bowl mix together all topping ingredients. Sprinkle over the top of the sweet potato puree. Bake at 350°F for 40-45 minutes until topping starts to burn and the center of the casserole rises slightly. Remove from oven. Allow to sit 5-10 minutes before serving.

Make-Ahead Tip:

• Make the sweet potato mixture ahead and place in the casserole pan. Store in the fridge for up to two days prior to baking. Top with topping just prior to tossing it in the oven.
