Weekly Recipe

Since Thanksgiving is next week and because sweet potatoes are on sale for such a great price at Lowes Foods this week.  I thought I'd share one of our Thanksgiving family favorites.  

Sweet Potato Casserole

Casserole

3 cups mashed, cooked sweet potato

1 cup sugar

2/3 stick butter

2 eggs

½ tsp salt

½ cup milk

1 tsp vanilla extract

Topping

1/3 cup melted butter

1/2 cup flour

1/2 cup brown sugar

1 cup chopped pecans

In a large bowl combine all casserole ingredients and mix well by hand. (the butter will melt if the potatoes are warm) Pour casserole mixture into a 13x9 (greased) baking dish. For the topping: in a separate bowl combine the butter & flour and fluff together with a fork. Stir in the brown sugar and pecans until the mixture becomes “crumbly.” Crumble topping over potatoes and bake uncovered in a 350 degree oven for 45 minutes.
