Thanksgiving is right around the corner. It will be here before you know it so you had better have your ducks in a row. I like to try out new recipes before the big day so I am sure my guests will be pleased with the results. I have tested this one many times so there is no need to make a trial run. However if you decide you must this casserole is absolutely scrumptious with baked chicken or roasted pork loin. This recipes makes about twelve servings so plan accordingly.

  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 2 eggs lightly beaten
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 5 tablespoons butter (softened)
  • 3/4 cup evaporated milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 tablespoon cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg

How To Make sweet potato casserole

  • Step 1
    Scrub, dry and prick sweet potatoes with a fork. Place on baking sheet and bake for 1 hour at 425 degrees or until fork tender turning the sheet halfway through the baking process. Let cool long enough to handle easily.
  • Step 2
    Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease 9×13 inch baking dish.
  • Step 3
    Scoop sweet potatoes out of skin with a spoon and place in large bowl. Add sugar, beaten eggs, salt, butter, evaporated milk, vanilla, cinnamon, cloves and nutmeg. Mix well with a spoon or on low with a hand held mixer. Spread the mixture in the greased baking dish.
  • Step 4
    In a medium bowl combine brown sugar and flour. Using a pastry knife cut in the butter until the mixture is crumbled. Stir in pecans; sprinkle mixture over sweet potatoes. Bake for 30 minutes; turn the broiler on low for the last 1 1/2-2 minutes of baking just to lightly brown the top.
  • Step 5
    Broilers can be unpredictable so stay close by and keep an eye on it.
