This is a must for our Thanksgiving table. We found it in a Make-A-Wish cookbook years ago.

3 cups mashed sweet potatoes*
1 cup white sugar
2 sticks (1 cup) margarine or butter
2 beaten eggs
1 cup milk*
2 teaspoons sherry (optional; or use 2 Tablespoons)
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 cup brown sugar
1 cup chopped pecans
1/3 cup self-rising flour
Preheat oven to 300 to 350 degrees F.
Beat together potatoes, sugar, 1 stick margarine, eggs, milk, sherry and vanilla. Pour into casserole dish.
Mix brown sugar, remaining stick of margarine, pecans, and flour. Crumble over casserole.

*If using canned potatoes, reduce milk to 3/4 cup. You can more or less drain canned potatoes. You may use evaporated milk. |
