Favorite Recipes, Part III

Another family favorite--that our friend Kristin F. introduced us to--is Sweet Potato Casserole.

This recipe is not mine and comes from various sources. Here it is:

SWEET POTATO CASSEROLE

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 1½ to 2-quart casserole dish. Mix remaining ingredients together and sprinkle over top. Bake at 350 degrees for 30 – 40 minutes, until hot and browned.

Serves 6 – 8.

Since it takes a lot of time and effort to cook and mash the sweet potatoes, I double-batch this recipe and freeze one unbaked dish in the freezer. Then, when needed, I thaw the dish and bake. Walla! Yumminess without the work!

(I make this recipe with almond milk and non-dairy butter. The taste is perfect.)
