count down to Thanksgiving #4- Scrumptious Sweet Potatoes

This dish is a must for a Thanksgiving Feast! I haven't met someone who hasn't like it yet...even all those people who are not sweet potatoes fans enjoy it. Give it a try- I promise you will be Thankful! Happy Eating!

{scrumptious sweet potatoes}
Combine:
3+ cups sweet potatoes-mashed
2 eggs (beaten)
1/2 c canned milk
1 T vanilla
1 c sugar
1/2 T salt
1/2 stick butter melted
coconut flakes- (optional-but really yummy)
Topping:
1 c brown sugar
1 c chopped sugar coated pecans*
1/2 c flour
1/2 c soft butter (I always use the other 1/2 stick and it's plenty!)
crumble on the top

bake at 350 for 30 minutes.
*to make sugar coated pecans, mix 1 cup chopped pecans with 1/4 cup sugar in a sauce pan over medium-low heat. stir constantly until all the sugar is melted & all nuts are coated. transfer to waxed or parchment paper. cool completely.

    hey jenny, thanks for the comment. use a 9 x 13 inch pan. & as far as the coconut goes... i use 1/2-1 cup. depending on who is coming. my little sis is not a huge coconut fan, so if she is coming i use a little less. hope that help! have a happy & yummy thanksgiving!!!!
