How To Make sweet potatoe pie

  • Step 1

  • Step 2
    Set oven to heat at 350F for baking filled pies.
  • Step 3
    In a large mixing bowl. Blend all ingredients well. You will see pieces of the butter floating around. Its ok!
  • Step 4
    Pour half of filling in each pie shell. Bake until firm. About 45-50 minutes. Allow to cool. Serve with whipped cream.
