Sweet Potatoes!

I just tried this recipe at Thanksgiving. For the few people that like sweet potatoes, it was fabulous. I will definitely try this again. I halved the recipe because there are so few of us that enjoy sweet potatoes...and I cheated and used canned yams.
Nutty Sweet Potato Bake
  • 4 eggs
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1/4 cup butter, melted
  • 6 cups cubed cooked sweet potatoes or 2 cans (40 ounces each) cut yams, drained
  • TOPPING:
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup packed brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup butter, melted
  • 1 cup chopped pecans

Directions

  • In a large bowl, beat eggs. Add the sugar, milk and butter; mix well. Add sweet potatoes and stir gently. Pour into a greased 13-in. x 9-in. baking dish.
  • For topping, combine flour and sugar in a small bowl. Stir in butter and pecans. Sprinkle over sweet potatoes. Bake, uncovered, at 350° for 55-65 minutes or until a knife inserted near the center comes out clean. Yield: 16 servings
