I made this today for Thanksgiving, and after trying several sweet potato casserole recipes, I think this is the winner. It is very much like the Ruth's Chris version and fairly easy to prepare. It was so good that I had more of the casserole for dessert instead of the pumpkin and pecan pie! :-) Enjoy!
Sweet Potato Casserole
3 cups cooked and mashed sweet potatoes*
3/4 C. sugar
1/2 tsp. salt
1 tsp. vanilla
2 eggs, beaten
1/4 C. butter, melted
Topping:
1 C. brown sugar
1/3 C. flour
1 C. chopped pecans
3 T. butter, melted
Preheat oven to 350. In large mixing bowl, combine the first six ingredients. Spread into a greased 9x13 pan. In a separate bowl, make the topping, and then spread over the top of the sweet potatoes. Cook for 30 minutes uncovered.
*I boiled my potatoes after skinning and then rough chopping them, and from putting them in the pot with the cold water, cranking up the heat, they were ready to go after maybe 25-30 minutes.
