Sweet Potato Casserole

I wanted to share this recipe with you in case you don’t already have a favorite for sweet potato casserole.  I love it.  It’s decadent, and it feels like you are getting away with something by eating it with your meal.  Like having dessert first.  It’s delicious!

Here’s how I make it:

Gather all of your ingredients.

Beat two eggs…..

Like so.  I always start my recipes by beating the eggs first.  That way, if something could be over mixed, it won’t happen.  Make sense to you?  Then add the milk…..

The brown sugar….

And the melted butter.

And the vanilla extract.

And the salt….

Next put in your sweet potatoes.  Or yams.  Either or will fit in this recipe.  Unless you disagree.  So you should add whichever you prefer.  You do you.  I’m not going to judge you.  As you can see I don’t show bias between the two…..

Mash everything together until it looks like a bowl of yumminess.

Pour into a greased vintage baking dish.  Or whatever vessel you have that is ovenproof.

Next, mix together the flour….

The brown sugar and salt.

Pecans…..I use the ones that are already chopped.  It saves me a step and they are cheaper.  Win win.

Next add the melted butter.

Yours will more than likely be less wet than mine.  I had a distracted moment and add double the butter…..Don’t be like me.  Or do.  It will all turn out okay in the end.

Sprinkle over the top and bake.

It will turn out beautifully.  Even if this photo was of just the corner because I forgot to take a photo until after we had devoured most of it!  Enjoy!

And voila!  Here’s the handy dandy printable.
