This is another one of those can't-get-enough recipes. It's a side dish, but I always eat it last because it's so sweet, it could actually be a dessert. It's full of tons of sugar....so it isn't for those watching their wasteline....this is a full fledged treat!!!
3 cups mashed cooked sweet potatoes
1 stick butter
2 cups sugar
4 eggs
1 can evaporated milk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Topping:
1 cup brown sugar
1 cup pecans, chopped
1/2 stick butter , melted
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/3 cup flour
Mix hot mashed potatoes with butter, then add next 4 ingredients and mix well.
Place in 9"x13" baking dish and bake 30 min at 350 degrees until set.
Topping: mix all topping ingredients and spread over potatoes. Sometimes I add another 1/2 stick butter to help it spread better. You will not be able to "spread", but will have to use fingers and drop small amounts all over potatoes until almost covered. Bake until topping is bubbly at 350 degrees.
This casserole is very sweet and can sometimes be considered a dessert.
