I'm posting this recipe at Kim's suggestion on the Oatmeal Bar post.
Happy Thanksgiving!
Sweet Potato Souffle
Preheat oven to 350°
3 lbs sweet potatoes
2 eggs
1/2 stick butter
1 tsp vanilla
1 cup sugar
1/2 tsp salt
1 cup milk
For Topping:
1 cup brown sugar
1 cup chopped pecans, finely processed
1/3 cup flour
1/2 stick butter, melted
Boil sweet potatoes until tender, drain and mash. Add all ingredients. Put into large greased 9 x 13 casserole.
Mix topping ingredients together. Put on top of sweet potato mixture. Bake until golden brown. Cook just until heated through. If made ahead of time and then cooked it will take 30 to 45 minutes. If made and put right in oven it won't take long for topping to get browned. Double topping recipe for more generous topping with less potato. I highly recommend this method. I don't really want to taste the sweet potato. It's just a vehicle to allow me to eat the topping and still say I'm eating a vegetable.
Notes:
If made ahead mix topping ingredients together but keep seperate from potatoes until ready to cook.
