Sweet Potato Casserole


My roommate got this recipe from a friend and made it for a dinner party last week. It was so delicious, I knew I had to add it to the menu for my family's Thanksgiving dinner a few weeks ago, with a few minor tweaks. It was a hit!! Pretty sure we'll be seeing it again this Christmas!

You'll need:


Casserole
4 cups sweet potato
1/4 cup white sugar
2 eggs, beaten
1/2 tsp vanilla
1/2 tsp salt
4 Tbsp. butter, softened
1/2 cup milk


Topping
1/2 cup packed brown sugar
1/3 cup flour
3 Tbsp. butter, softened
1/2 cup chopped walnuts or pecans

Wash potatoes and wrap in foil. Bake the potatoes at 300 degrees for about 2 hours or until a knife easily slides through them. The cooking time will depend on how big the potatoes are.

Unwrap potatoes and slice in half when done. Let them hang out about 10 minutes or until they're cool enough to handle


Scoop out the potato filling, and whisk along with all casserole ingredients until blended and creamy.


Transfer the mixture into a glass dish that's been sprayed with cooking spray.


Combine brown sugar and flour with butter.


Use a fork to cut up the butter.


Add chopped walnuts.


 Sprinkle topping evenly over the top of the casserole. Bake this for 20-25 minutes on 350 degrees.


Crispy, crunchy top. Sweet, creamy center. Yum!



Enjoy!
