Sweet potato pie shows up at lots of Texas barbecues! This recipe comes from Barbecue Crossroads by Walsh NOTE: I used a ready made 9" pecan crust. It looked kind of small, so I used 2 c. sweet potatoes, 3/4 c brown sugar, 2 eggs, 3/4 c. evaporated milk, about 6 T of butter and a little bit less spices. It worked!
