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

  1. I have some canned mashed sweet potatoes. I think I would like to give this dish a try. I just need to figure out how to adjust the amounts of all the ingredients.

  4. One of my all time favorites, but living in Canada most folks do not use sweet potatoes. I think they are scared of them lol
    Ok the beach sounds fantastic. We still have snow on the ground. The front of my house is clear and I think I can see little green things sticking out. lol
    See you soon
