Thanksgiving recipes: Sweet potato casserole
I'm going to be posting some Thanksgiving recipes from my own collection for the next few days. If you have any you want to send my way, please do and I will post them for everyone's enjoyment.
This is one of my favorite Thanksgiving recipes, although I make it whenever I need a sweet potato fix. I made it last year, the first year I cooked Thanksgiving dinner for my in-laws. My father-in-law, taking seconds, said it was just like candy.
Sweet potato casserole
3 cups cooked mashed sweet potatoes
1/3 cup butter
2 eggs
1 cup sugar
1/2 cup milk
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1 teaspoon vanilla
Topping
1 cup brown sugar
1/3 cup flour
1 cup chopped nuts
1/3 cup butter, melted
Mix sweet potatoes, sugar, milk, butter, eggs, cinnamon, and vanilla, and pour into baking dish. Mix nuts, brown sugar and flour in a small bowl. Add melted butter. Sprinkle over potato mixture. Bake at 375 degrees until brown, about 25 minutes.

When you're bored sometime, try swapping out the milk for buttermilk. Same measurements. Extra creamy!
I picked up the same recipe (except with buttermilk) in Georgia. It supposedly is a family recipe by some famous politician named Talmage. Forgive me for not knowing more about the guy. I think he was a senator.
Yum. I've already got the stuff to make this tomorrow. Heck, I may make it tonight! :)
Happy TD! .. RC

Oooo! That sounds yummy! I'll definitely have to try that. I don't usually have buttermilk around, but I guess I can be forced to make pancakes to use the rest of it up :)
