My family loved this delicious sweet potato casserole, baked with a crunchy pecan and brown sugar topping.

Ingredients:

• 2 pounds sweet potatoes (3 cups mashed)
• 1/2 cup sugar
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 2 large eggs
• 1/2 cup milk
• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla
• 4 tablespoons melted butter
• .
• Topping:
• 1/2 cup brown sugar
• 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
• 4 tablespoons melted butter
• 1/2 cup chopped pecans

Preparation:

Scrub sweet potatoes and cut in half if large. Boil in their jackets until tender. Cool; slip the peels off and mash well. Stir in sugar and salt. Whisk together the eggs, milk, vanilla, and 4 tablespoons melted butter. Stir into the mashed sweet potato mixture until smooth and well blended. Spoon the mixture into a lightly buttered 2-quart baking dish. Combine remaining ingredients; sprinkle over the sweet potato mixture. Bake at 350° for 35 to 45 minutes.
Serves 6 to 8.
