SWEET POTATO CASSEROLE with PECAN CRUMBLE Frans Notes: This is a true Southern recipe, right from the heart of Dixie. Miss Mary, my great-nieces other grandmother, doubles the recipe for big family dinners and bakes it in a 13 x 9 baking dish. Ill post the smaller recipe that uses a 1 1/2 quart casserole dish and let you decide how much you need to make. Shhh... Theres a Top Secret shortcut in Step 2, if youre in a rush. Then you just have to make & add the topping before baking. Remember, its our little secret... =^..^= INGREDIENTS: 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 cup white sugar 2 eggs, beaten 1/2 tsp. salt 1/2 cup milk 1 1/2 tsp. vanilla extract FOR THE TOPPING: 1/3 stick butter or margarine, melted 1/2 cup brown sugar, packed 1/3 cup all-purpose flour 1 cup chopped pecans (& a few pecan halves for decorating, optional) DIRECTIONS: 1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Spray a 1 1/2 qt. casserole dish with cooking spray. 2. In a large microwave-safe bowl, melt the butter. Next, add & lightly mash the sweet potatoes with the mixer beaters. 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 youre rushed for time, buy a 32 oz. microwavable container of mashed sweet potatoes and spoon into the casserole dish, then add the topping. We wont 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. 4. Pour or spoon the topping over the sweet potato mixture... 5. ...and spread evenly. I usually also toss a few pecan halves on top, just for pretty. 6. Bake at 350 degrees F. for about 30-35 minutes. The topping should be golden brown.
