This creamy yam casserole has been handed down for generations. I have taken the honor of serving this family favorite at Thanksgiving and Christmas. With one mixing bowl, ingredients are mixed all together, poured into a casserole dish, topped with brown sugar, flour and butter to make a crunchy carmelized top. This recipe can be made a day in advance and kept in the refrigerator either before or after baking time. I've had people tell me they "don't like yams" until they taste this one!

How to Make Streusel Yam Casserole

Step-by-Step

Preheat Oven if cooking right away 350' F. Prep 9x13 or 9x9 (for thicker casserole)spray with non-stick cooking spray.
Casserole: With a mixer, mix yams, eggs, sugar, vanilla, milk and butter till creamy. Pour in casserole dish.
Topping: Combine brown sugar, flour and softened butter. Blend until crumbly, sprinkle on top. Bake 25 minutes or until golden brown.
Notes: For a carmelized topping, once golden brown, turn oven to Broil and watch closely, the top with carmelize in minutes. Once out of the oven it will set creating a sweet crunchy topping while cooling.

If making ahead, refrigerate, bring to room temperature before baking as stated above.
