This has become a family favorite around Thanksgiving time. Not only for the official holiday dinner, but at our famous full-meal-deal Thanksgiving tailgate parties. This version of the popular dish is a bit lower in sugar than some.
3 c. sweet potato or yam, cooked and mashed
1/3 c. brown sugar
2 eggs, beaten
1 t. vanilla
1/4 c. milk
Mix the above ingredients together and top with a mixture of:
3/4 c. brown sugar
1/3 c. flour
1/3 c. butter
1 c. chopped pecans
Bake at 350 degrees F. for about 20 minutes, or until the topping is crisp
Our friend Nancy Mounce brought this dish to our Thanksgiving gathering one year and we've enjoyed it ever since. She was an active part of the Duck tailgating crowd and attended a few of the Training Camp outings too. She passed away in 2008.
