Sweet Potato Casserole

Sweet Potato Casserole

 

As promised, we will be featuring a Thanksgiving recipe weekly until the day is here! This week we will be featuring a delicious sweet potato casserole that will be enjoyed by all – even those who swear off sweet potatoes.
This recipe can also be altered by adding extra sweet potatoes and/or baking them for one and a halt to two hours to bring out their full flavor instead of boiling them.
Try out our tips and let us know if you have any of your own!
Ingredients

• 4 cups sweet potato, cubed
• 1/2 cup white sugar
• 2 eggs, beaten
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 4 tablespoons butter, softened
• 1/2 cup milk
• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
• 1/3 cup all-purpose flour
• 3 tablespoons butter, softened
• 1/2 cup chopped pecans
• Add all ingredients to list

Directions
1. Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Put sweet potatoes in a medium saucepan with water to cover. Cook over medium high heat until tender; drain and mash.
2. In a large bowl, mix together the sweet potatoes, white sugar, eggs, salt, butter, milk and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth. Transfer to a 9×13 inch baking dish.
3. In medium bowl, mix the brown sugar and flour. Cut in the butter until the mixture is coarse. Stir in the pecans. Sprinkle the mixture over the sweet potato mixture.
