Bbetts was named for her mother Betsy and became Baby Betsy shortened to Bbetts. I have known her for 30 years since she was a junior in HS. She is the sweetest person I know. One Thanksgiving she brought this dish to my home. It is the only recipe we use ever since.

How To Make sweet potato casserole from bbetts for thanksgiving

Step 1

Wash and pierce sweet potatoes. Roast sweet potatoes, skins on, for 1 hour in oven preheated to 350 degrees. Or microwave on high for 7 minutes and let sit for 5 minutes

Step 2

Cool and slice potatoes in half and scoop out.
Step 3

In another bowl, mix together the TOPPING ingredients.
Step 4

Blend sweet potatoes and other MIX ingredients together using potato masher or hand mixer. Add to a 1 quart casserole dish sprayed lightly with cooking spray.
Step 5

Sprinkle TOPPING ingredients on top of MIX.
Step 6

Bake in preheated 375 degree oven for 40 minutes.
Step 7

Option 1: Add 2 tablespoon dark rum to mix. Option 2: Use 1 1/2 cups canned sweet potatoes instead of baked. (I recommend Bruce's)
Step 8

Say Grace and Thank BBetts.
