Sweet
potato casserole is especially good with thanksgiving dinner or a
steak dinner.
Sweet Potato Mixture
1½ lbs
sweet
potatoes peeled (about 4 medium-sized)
¾ cup
sugar
¼ tsp
salt
1 tsp
vanilla
extract
1
egg,
beaten
¼ cup
butter
Topping
¾ cup
brown
sugar
¼ cup
flour
¾ cup
chopped
pecans
¼ cup
melted
butter
Cut the sweet potatoes in half and bring a pot of salted water to
a boil. Add the potatoes to the water and boil them for
25 minutes or until the sweet potatoes are cooked through and can
be easily pierced with a fork. Drain. Preheat the oven to 350°.
Use a mixer to mash the sweet potatoes then add each of the sweet
potato mixture ingredients. Mix them thoroughly and pour
everything into a baking dish. We use a 12" x 7½". In a
separate bowl, combine topping mixture ingredients, mix them well,
and sprinkle it all on top of the sweet potatoes. Bake uncovered
for 30 minutes at 350°.
