Sweet Potato Casserole

Bring on the feast!!!  Now that my crazy Christmas rush is slowing down a bit I can post recipes again.  I have lots of great recipes for the holidays.This is one of Fred's (my husband) favorite Thanksgiving side dishes which could almost pass as dessert.  It is from an old Denton Bible Church cookbook.


SWEET POTATO CASSEROLE
2 - 29oz cans of yams
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup butter
2 eggs, beaten
1 tsp vanilla
1/3 cup milk


topping:
1/3 cup melted butter
1 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup flour
1 cup chopped pecans


Put drained yams in a large mixing bowl.  Add sugar and blend until less chunky.  Gradually add in butter, eggs, vanilla and milk.  Pour in a 9" x 13" baking dish.


Melt butter and mix remaining ingredients.  Sprinkle on top of potato mixture.  Bake for 25 minutes at 350 degrees.  Can be frozen.


Have a wonderful Thanksgiving and remember . . . be thankful even for the little things.
