Ever since discovering this delectable, almost dessert-like sweet potato casserole, it is a must-have at every Thanksgiving and Christmas feast.
3 C Sweet potatoes (5-6 fresh cooked or canned)(Stay the hell away from canned, though)
1 C Sugar
2 eggs
1/2 stick butter, softened (don't bother with silly margarine)
1/2 C milk
1 TB vanilla
1/2 tsp salt
Topping:
1 C brown sugar
1/3 C flour
1/2 stick butter, melted
1 C pecans, chopped
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Mash the potatoes. Mix in remaining ingredients and beat well with a mixer. (There may be some bits of butter that don't get mixed in completely. It's okay. Don't panic. They'll melt during the baking process.) Pour into a greased casserole dish. Mix together the topping ingredients and spread over the sweet potato mixture. Bake 30-35 minutes.
I typically make two of these casseroles to feed 8-10 adults. These are just as tasty reheated with a turkey sandwich.

Thanks Jennifer! I've been looking for a sweet potato recipe for a while. And perfect timing for Thanksgiving.
This sounds like the recipe my Grandma made. And of course all her recipes consisted of a little of this and some of this, etc and mix it up. She never measured anything. She made everything til it looked right!Thanks for the recipe!
