Recipe - Mrs Whips' Sweet Potato Casserole

Thanksgiving is tomorrow! Does everyone have what they need to feed at least 5000 people? Well, you might just have to go get the ingredients to make this one last thing, because boy is it good. I first had this 3 years ago when I was at my friend's house for Thanksgiving. Caleb was on tour and so I ended up at their house with a few others who had nowhere to go. I fell so in love with this dish that I instantly stole the recipe and here it is!
Now I know people usually put all kinds of weird things on sweet potatoes during this holiday (marshmallows?) but this comes with a crumble like topping, and although it mostly tates like a dessert, it's the perfect pairing to the turkey and stuffing and potatoes. So, if you're making sweet potatoes/yams this year (and lets be honest, it's a staple) then make sure to make them this way.

*Side note, this year I actually burnt the top of mine (schoolboy error) and so it's been incredibly hard to get a good photo of the result. I myself, king of like some things a little burnt, but it definitely isn't how it's meant to be. Trust me, it's a beautiful thing to make and eat, so make sure you do!

Mrs Whips' Sweet Potato Casserole

Ingredients

Base
3 cups mashed (& drained) sweet potatoes/yams (about one
2/3 cup sugar (white or caster)
1/2 butter, melted
2 eggs, beaten
1 tsp vanilla
1/2 cup milk or whipping cream

Topping
1/3 cup butter, melted
1 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup GF flour
1 cup chopped pecans





Directions

- Preheat oven to 350.
- Cream together all ingredients for the base in a medium bowl.
- Then pour into a greased 9 x13 glass baking dish.
- Combine all topping ingredients in a small bowl and mix until it resembles a crumble mix.
- Crumble the topping evenly over the sweet potato mixture and cover with foil.
- Bake for 30-40 minutes or until potatoes bubble and topping is golden brown (make sure to uncover from the foil after 20 minutes of baking.)
- If you'd like your topping a little crispier, broil for a minute (but keep an eye on it & don't forget like me - it'll burn easily!)
- Enjoy!
