Sweet Potato Casserole

Casserole
Written By Elizabeth Rogers

I never liked sweet potatoes until I tried this recipe in Home economics.  Mrs. Young was a wonderful Home EC teacher.  We learned to cook and sew during high school.

This recipe per my husband is dessert.  It is sweet and crunchy.  This is a must for our family menu during the holidays.

I tried this recipe the weekend before Thanksgiving and left out the milk. It was still good. I also forgot the cinnamon, it was still good. This is the reason I am putting all our holiday casseroles onto my web page, so I have them when I travel home.

  • 30-ounce can of yams - drained

  • ¾ cup sugar

  • 1 teaspoon of vanilla

  • ½ cup of milk

  • 2 eggs

  • 1 stick of butter, room temperature

  • Pinch of salt

  • Mash drained sweet potatoes and softened butter together.

  • Mix in the rest of the ingredients.
