Sweet Potato Casserole

I don't think I've ever posted a recipe before, but it seems appropriate, so here's a fantastically yummy sweet potato casserole / souffle recipe that I'll be making for both my family's and MB's family's Thanksgiving get-togethers:


Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

4 cups mashed sweet potatoes (two 29-ounce cans, if you use canned like I do)
1 cup sugar
2 eggs
1/2 cup milk
1 tsp salt
1 tsp vanilla extract

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

1 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup flour
1/2 stick melted margarine

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

1 cup chopped pecans

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Combine first list of ingredients and mix well. Pour into a buttered pan.

Spread pecans over surface and press down slightly.

Combine second list of ingredients and crumble over the top of the pecans. (Add more flour if it's too clumpy.)

Bake 15 minutes, then cover with aluminum foil and bake for an additional 15 - 25 minutes (until light brown).


It's pretty simple to make, and the leftovers are excellent when re-heated in the microwave. Have a great Thanksgiving, if you're celebrating today. If not, have a great Thursday!
