Easy Sweet Potato Casserole

by Hotcookingrecipes.com

This easy sweet potato casserole is my family's favourite for Christmas and Thanksgiving, they absolutely love it despite being not so keen on sweet potato.

What makes it so yummy is the pecan topping, pecan works wonders in this sweet potato recipe. It isn’t a fat-free recipe, but it does have less fat than other similar recipes.


The Best Sweet Potato Casserole Recipe:

Ingredients:

5-6 sweet potatoes

1/2 C milk

1 1/4 C sugar

2 tbsp of melted butter

1 tsp vanilla

2 eggs

1 C mini marshmallows


Preparation:

Bake the sweet potatoes at 375° for one hour and a half. Be sure and rub them with vegetable oil before baking. The peels will slide off when finished.

Smash up the sweet potatoes in a bowl and add the half cup of milk, one and a quarter cups of sugar, one half stick of melted butter, 1 teaspoon of vanilla, two eggs beaten, and 1 cup of mini marshmallows. Mix all the ingredients well. Then spray large casserole dish (9″ x 13″ works well) and place the mixed sweet potatoes in the casserole dish.

Next comes the topping – my family's favorite part of the dish:


Topping Ingredients:

1/2 C brown sugar packed

1/4 C wholemeal flour

1 C pecans crushed real good

*2 tablespoons of butter melted – be sure and pour this in the bowl last*


Preparation:

Mix the melted butter to the dry ingredients last after mixing the dry ingredients well with a spoon. Then take this topping and spread on top of the sweet potatoes in the casserole dish to completely cover it.


You can double the topping if you like. Some people prefer the sweeter, cruncher topping. I have found, myself, that I don’t need this and the recipe is perfect as described above.

Be sure and prepare the sweet potato casserole the day before you plan on serving it. Then bake the day you are ready to eat. Bake for 35 minutes at 375° and be sure and bake it covered with aluminum foil. Serve and enjoy it!


*Here I'd like to tell you about my favorite diet program that uses a lot of the healthy lower GI foods: Isabel de los Rios' 'The Diet Solution Program'.

The Diet Solution Program favours a long term health orientated approach to fat loss, but not offering anyone a quick fix to their weight troubles. It has loads of valuable data and research to support its approach. I personally investigated the program thoroughly and my mum has been using it for a while now. I have to say she got some great results.

The nutrition plan is one of the healthiest we have seen, a strong core focus on vegetables, fruits, vitamin dense foods, lean proteins, select dairy produce and a clear approach to not expecting one diet to work for all body types. So give it a try and let me know how you’re doing.*
