Don't save this one for Thanksgiving- sweet potatoes are so good for you and are delicious. Of course, the addition of the other ingredients in this casserole may mitigate the nutritional value of the sweet potatoes somewhat.
Bake 3 large or 5 small sweet potatoes in a 350 degree oven until soft (maybe an hour or so). Put them on a foil lined cookie sheet or your oven will be disgusting after. Let cool then scoop out the flesh. You need 4 or 5 cups of mashed sweet potatoes.
Make sure your oven is at 350 degrees.
Combine the mashed sweet potatoes with:
1/2 cup (1 stick) melted butter (you can probably half that with no issue)
1/3 cup milk
3/4 cup brown sugar
1/2 tsp vanilla
2 eggs, beaten
Spread mixture into baking dish that has been coated with cooking spray.
Streusel Topping:
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup flour
1/3 cup butter
1 cup chopped pecans
Combine flour and sugar. Rinse the dust off that pastry cutter I told you to buy a few posts ago and cut in the butter until the mixture is crumbly. Stir in pecans then sprinkle the mixture over the sweet potatoes.
Bake for 25-30 minutes, uncovered.
Also, my sister-in-law is allergic to nuts, so I have left the pecans out of this recipe and done everything else the same, and it is still delicious.
