This is a true Southern recipe, right from the heart of Dixie. Miss Mary says she doubles the recipe for big family dinners and bakes it in a 13 x 9" baking dish. I'll post the smaller recipe that uses a 1 1/2 quart casserole dish and let you decide how much you need to make. =^..^= Shhh... There's a Top Secret shortcut in Step...

Time 50m

Number Of Ingredients 12

1/2 stick butter or margarine, melted
3 cooked sweet potatoes, about the size for 1 cup each (**see the top secret note in step 2.)
1/2 c sugar
2 eggs, beaten
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 c milk
1 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
FOR THE TOPPING:
1/3 stick butter or margarine, melted
1/2 c brown sugar, packed
1/3 c all-purpose flour
1 c chopped pecans (& a few pecan halves for decorating, optional)

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Spray a 1 1/2 qt. casserole dish with cooking spray.

Then add the sugar, beaten eggs, salt, milk, and vanilla extract and beat with the mixer until well-blended. Spoon into the prepared casserole dish. TOP SECRET: If you're rushed for time, buy a 32 oz. microwavable container of sweet potatoes and spoon into the casserole dish, then add the topping. We won't tell! =^..^=
  • 3. For the topping, in a medium microwave-safe bowl, melt the butter. Then add the brown sugar, flour, & chopped pecans and mix together with a fork.

  • 7. NOTE: The 15 minutes of prep time listed above doesn't include cooking the sweet potatoes before beginning the recipe.
