Since Easter is upon us, I thought you may like this recipe for Sweet Potato Casserole, given to me by by niece, Lauren (thus he name)over 20 years ago. When someone gives me a recipe that I especially like and use often, I rename it for them. This requested dish has been a requested dish for Easter, Thanksgiving, Christmas –or any pot luck dinner, whether I have others over to my place or I go to someone else’s place. Even if you do not like sweet potatoes, give this a try –you will love it.

    Bake 35 minutes at 375 degrees. * I sometimes double the topping, especially if I use a long casserole dish. ** The Yam Patties come 8 to the package (You need 2 pkgs), and are packed flat in a styrofoam meat tray. You will find them in either the freezer or refrigerated section (with the potatoes). Different stores keep them different places -you may have to ask.
