Lemon Sweet Potato Casserole

A quick method to shred sweep potatoes is in the food processor. All the ingredients are combined together, to make this lemon lover's outstanding dish-it's almost like a pudding.

2 tbsp. margarine or butter, melted
2/3 cup sugar
1 cup skim milk
2 large eggs
1/2 tsp. ground cinnamon
1 (4 serving) box instant lemon pudding and pie filling

Preheat oven to 325 degrees.

Combine shredded sweet potatoes, margarine, sugar, milk, eggs, cinnamon and pudding mix in a 2-quart oblong casserole dish.

Cover tightly with foil and bake for one hour.
