Ingredients

  • Casserole
  • 3 cups mashed sweet potatoes (well drained, mashed canned ones are fine)
  • 2 eggs, lightly beaten
  • 1/3 cup sugar
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 2 tablespoons melted light butter
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • Topping
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 2 1/2 tablespoons flour
  • 1/2 cup chopped pecans or 1/2 cup walnuts
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons melted light butter

Method

  • Mash the sweet potatoes with ricer and stir in remaining casserole ingredients until well blended.
  • Spread into a lightly greased 8-inch square dish.
  • For the topping, mix the brown sugar, flour and pecans together. Drizzle the melted butter over the mixture while stirring to combine. Sprinkle over casserole.
  • Bake uncovered at 350°F for 35 minutes.
  • Can be served immediately, but we have found we like it better if it sets 10-20 minutes first.
