Ok, M* Readers, it’s time for sharing holiday recipes. Here is your opportunity to share your family’s favorite Thanksgiving dish. Every year I get requests for my Sweet Potato Casserole; created by my friend, Sandra Loggins, a real live southern granny. Enjoy!
Granny’s Southern-styled Sweet Potato Casserole
3 cups sweet potatoes (about 4 good sized ones)
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/2 butter
2 beaten eggs
1 tsp vanilla
1/3 cup evaporated milk
1/2 cup pecans
1/4 tsp nutmeg
1/2 tsp cinnamon
topping
1 cup brown sugar
1 stick butter
1 cup pecans
1/3 cup flour
bag of marshmellows (optional)
Mix together the potatoes (cooked and mashed), brown sugar, sugar, butter, eggs, vanilla, milk, nuts, nutmeg, cinnamon. Put mixture into a casserole dish*. Beat together the ingredients for the topping until gooey. Spoon over the top of the potato mixture and bake at 325 degrees for 35-40 minutes. May be topped with marshmallows (optional) and returned to 450 degree oven until golden brown.
*recommend you use a disposal pan 15x11x2 with room to rise.
