Sweet Potato Casserole: it's not just a side to that Thanksgiving turkey!

Hey y'all! I know it has been a while since my last post, but school does a great job of keeping me busy. Lucky for me it is almost over! I hope some of you were able to test out the cornbread recipe, but if not I think I have another good one. Sweet potatoes are a delicious and healthy food, but with a little sugar and some love this dish is sure to be a delight. It's a simple and easy way to fill stomach's and make those taste buds swoon.

Ingredients:

• 3 cups mashed sweet potatoes
• 1 cup brown sugar
• 2 eggs, lightly beaten
• 1 teaspoon vanilla
• 1/2 cup milk
• 1/2 cup melted butter
• Topping:
• 1/2 cup brown sugar
• 1/3 cup flour
• 1/3 cup melted butter
• 1 cup chopped pecans

Preparation:

Combine first 6 ingredients. Pour into a buttered 1 1/2 to 2-quart casserole dish. Mix remaining ingredients together and sprinkle over top. Bake at 350° for 30 to 40 minutes, until hot and browned. Serves 6 to 8.

I will be leaving for the beach on Monday for a week, so it will be a while until my next post. I can't wait to hear the responses from the recipes!

With southern love,
Rachel
