I can't seem to weasel Mrs. Jessie's Sweet Potato Casserole out of Trisha so here is Paula Deen's version.
3 cups mashed sweet potatoes
1 cup sugar
1/3 cup butter, melted
2 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/4 cup heavy cream, half and half, or whole milk
Topping:
1 cup brown sugar
3 tablespoons butter, melted
1/3 cup all-purpose flour
1 cup pecans or walnuts, chopped
Mix together with fork; sprinkle over top of casserole**
Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Mix all ingredients together except for cream. Beat with an electric mixer until smooth. Add cream;mix well. Pour into greased casserole dish ( 1 1/2 quarts). Add topping. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes.
**Note Trisha always puts miniature marshmallows over the top after the casserole is done cooking and browns them lightly in the oven. YUM!
I would post her recipe but don't want alot of people to have it. It is a family recipe that her mama use to make, so therefore I can't post it. Some of you have it, and please hold it dear to your heart, others will just have to taste it whn I make it and try to figure out the ingredients. Sorry, but it's not mine to repost.
ReplyDeleteI think the secret is either evaporated milk or heavy cream. I can't say for sure.
ReplyDelete@Patricia, I'm going to get you a Christmas present that's so secret that I can't give it to you!
ReplyDeleteWrong Betts, it is neither! Daddy, I love secrets so I guess I won't get a present from you this year for Christmas. Oh well!
