Ingredients
  • 2
    pounds sweet potatoes
  • 1/2
    cup sugar
  • 1/4
    cup butter, melted

    cup milk
  • 2
    eggs, lightly beaten

    cup chopped pecans
  • 1/4
    cup all-purpose flour
  • 1

2. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Transfer potatoes to a large mixing bowl. Mash lightly. Stir in sugar, 1/4 cup melted butter, milk, eggs, and vanilla. Transfer sweet potato mixture to a 2-quart casserole dish.

3. In a small mixing bowl, combine brown sugar, pecans, flour, and 1 tablespoon melted butter. Sprinkle over sweet potato mixture.

4. Bake, uncovered, in preheated oven for 30 to 35 minutes or until hot and bubbly. Makes 6 to 8 servings.

The sweet potato casserole was a big hit at our Thanksgiving. I used 5 lbs of sweet potatoes but did not increase the amounts of the other ingredients. This yielded enough for two dishes. I also used pre-glazed pecans which made the prep a bit easier. Definitely a recipe I'll make again.

I've made a recipe very close to this one for about 20 years. We've tried others, but always come back to this. Similar to the one served at Ruth Chris Steakhouses, but there recipe has about 3 times the sugar. Likewise with Paula Deen's recipe.

this is a good recipe, I like to substitute the milk for evaporated milk, makes a little richer. I also top it with marshmallows, leave out pecans.
