This is the best side dish for Thanksgiving or Christmas! I know it's the wrong time of year, but I can never find this recipe when the time comes around to make it, and I just found it, so I thought I better post it before I lose it again!
Again, I got this tasty recipe from my sister-in-law Marlene who was living in Alabama at the time. Therefore, I consider this dish to be "southern". I do think she got it from a southern friend. Anyway...this is one of those things that really almost tastes like it could be dessert. Yum!
Sweet Potato Casserole
6-8 cups sweet potatoes, cooked and mashed (about 7-8 large potatoes)
4 eggs, beaten
1/2 cup milk
2 tsp. vanilla
2 1/2 cups sugar
2 sticks butter or margarine
Mix together and place in 9x13 baking dish.
Mix: 1 cup brown sugar
1/2 cups chopped pecans
1/4 cup flour
Sprinkle over the top of casserole and bake at 325 degrees for 25 minutes.
*** My SIL's notes:
I used 6 potatoes and halved the rest of the recipe to make it not so sweet. I also added some cinnamon, and a sprinkle of cloves.
When I have made this, I also try to half the rest of the recipe...especially the sugar! And it still turns out awesome!
