Yummy Sweet Potato Casserole

from allrecipes.com submitted by Tina B

INGREDIENTS:

4 cups sweet potato, cubed 1/2 cup white sugar 2 eggs, beaten 1/2 teaspoon salt 4 tablespoons butter, softened 1/2 cup milk

1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract 1/2 cup packed brown sugar 1/3 cup all-purpose flour 3 tablespoons butter, softened 1/2 cup chopped pecans

DIRECTIONS:

1.	Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Put sweet potatoes in a medium saucepan with water to cover. Cook over medium high heat until tender; drain and mash.
2.	In a large bowl, mix together the sweet potatoes, white sugar, eggs, salt, butter, milk and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth. Transfer to a 9x13 inch baking dish.
3.	In medium bowl, mix the brown sugar and flour. Cut in the butter until the mixture is coarse. Stir in the pecans. Sprinkle the mixture over the sweet potato mixture.
4.	Bake in the preheated oven 30 minutes, or until the topping is lightly brown. I don't really like sweet potatoes.  I've tried them different ways and they've never hit the spot.  But for some reason I tried this recipe and it is one of my favorites.  I think it's because after all the sweet things you add to this it tastes more like a dessert than a vegetable, but so be it!  We call them the cookie sweet potatoes because the topping does taste like cookies.  Yum!
