Sweet Potato Casserole, its not just for the Holidays!!!

I often think we get in a rut certain foods on weeknights, certain foods on the weekend, certain foods we only make for holiday's or special occasions. I am trying to break out of this mold, I love sweet potatoes and I really love the not so healthy sweet potato casserole, but we eat it twice a year, Thanksgiving and Christmas. Why? Why only eat something you enjoy twice a year, so I decided if I want to make it once a month I'll make it once a month! Who knows maybe I won't want it as much once I am eating it more than twice a year :)

The great thing about sweet potato casserole recipes is that a lot of people that don't really enjoy sweet potatoes enjoy these.

Grandma's Sweet Potato Casserole:
1/2 C. sugar
2 beaten eggs
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 C. melted margarine
1/2 C. evaporated milk
1 t. Vanilla
3 C. mashed sweet potatoes or yams (you can use 1 large can)

Topping:
1/3C. flour
1 T. brown sugar
1/4 C. melted margarine
1 C. chopped pecans

Combine all sweet potato ingredients together and place in a small 8x8 glass baking dish.

Combine all of the topping in ingredients and sprinkle over the top of the casserole

Bake at 350 for 35 minutes.

Go on and give it a try!

Happy Eating!!!
