Sweet Potato Casserole
Ingredients
Filling:
- 3 c cooked and mashed sweet potatoes (about 3 large potatoes roughly 3 lb total weight - If you cook them in a pan with water make sure you really drain them well).
- 1/3 c melted butter
- 1/3 c sugar
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
- 2 eggs
- ½ c milk - 1% is fine
Topping:
- 1 c packed light brown sugar
- 1/3 c flour
- 1 c chopped pecan or walnut pieces
- ½ stick melted butter
Method
1. Combine the filling ingredients and mix well. Spread in a greased 9" x 13" pan, or 2" x 9" pie plate or one deep 10" pie plate.2. Mix the topping ingredients and sprinkle over the sweet potato mixture.
3. Bake in a 350° oven for 30 minutes to 40 minutes depending on dish used for cooking. The casserole rises like a cake and then will deflate on cooling. A wide, shallow dish should be ready in 30 minutes, the deep 10" will take the 40 minutes.
Notes
If you refrigerate it overnight for baking fresh on Thanksgiving it will take longer because you are starting with colder ingredients.
