About this time in the year, I’m yearning, once again, for some holiday inspired dishes.  We make another turkey with stuffing, and reminisce about family and friends that we shared our time with.  A fitting tribute is this sweet potato dish that is sort of a cross between a pie and a casserole.  It’s creamy, sweet, and covered in a buttery nut topping.  How can you miss?

Filling:
2 cups canned sweet potatoes, drained and mashed
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup brown sugar
2 eggs, beaten
3/4 cup real butter
1/2 cup milk
1 1/2 teaspoon vanilla
1 teaspoon cinnamon

Topping:
1 cup brown sugar
1/3 cup all purpose flour
1/4 cup melted butter
1 cup chopped nuts, pecans work well

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Mix all ingredients for casserole together until well blended and place in a lightly sprayed baking dish. Combine topping ingredients and cover top of casserole. Bake for 30 minutes or until top is brown and casserole is bubbling.
