Sweet Potato Casserole

This isn't the sticky-sweet marshmallow-topped sweet potatoes from most childhood memories of sweet potatoes. You can even add a couple tablespoons of orange juice to add a bit of citrus flavor.

Recipe Ingredients:

2 (28-ounce) cans sweet potatoes, drained and mashed
1/2 cup granulated sugar
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup firmly packed brown sugar
4 tablespoons melted butter
1/2 cup chopped pecans
1 cup crushed cornflake crumbs

Cooking Directions:

1. In large bowl, mix together well the potatoes, sugar, eggs, vanilla and salt. Place mixture in a 13x9x2-inch greased baking dish.
2. In medium bowl, mix together the brown sugar, melted butter, pecans and crumbs. Sprinkle the crumb mixture evenly over the top of the potatoes and bake at 350°F (190°C) for 30 minutes. Serve hot.

Makes 8 servings.
