Sweet Potato Casserole

From the Kitchen of the Wife of Bill R., a former co-worker

3 c mashed sweet potatos (these are just as good if you use canned or freshly cooked)
1 c white sugar
2 eggs, beaten
1/3 c milk
1 can of coconut (can be omitted)
¾ stick butter or margarine
1 tsp vanilla extract


Streusel Topping:
1 c packed brown sugar
½ c all purpose flour
1 stick of butter or margarine, hard (freeze if necessary)

1 c raw, shelled pecans

Heat oven to 350


Drain the sweet potatos and discard the liquid.

In a large bowl, mash the sweet potatos and add sugar, beaten eggs, milk, coconut, butter and vanilla. Beat by hand or with a mixer until thoroughly blended. Small lumps are OK.

Set aside.

In a separate bowl, using a pastry cutter or table knives, “cut” the brown sugar, flour and butter together until it resembles a coarse meal.


Pour the Sweet Potato mixture in a baking dish*. Sprinkle the Streusel topping over the dish and top with pecans.

In the oven, place a baking sheet under the dish as it easily bubbles over. Bake in a 350 oven for 40-45 minutes.

* Optionally, load the filling (and top with the streusel topping and pecans) into pie shells for Sweet Potato Pie, a great departure from the usual store-bought Pumpkin Pie. Adjust baking time until a knife inserted in the middle of the pie comes out clean. Best served warm.


Now it's Thanksgiving.

Here's the pic again. If you're baking pies, let rest on the counter 30-40 minutes (or more) before cutting. This recipe makes 2 9-inch pies. Enjoy!
