Steps:
- Wash 4 medium sweet potatoes and bake them in a 375°F oven until fork tender, about 30 to 35 minutes. When they are finished cooking slice them open and scrape out the flesh into a large bowl. Add the brown sugar, 1 cup milk, you can use half and half for a richer texture, 2 eggs, 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract and 1 teaspoon of salt. Add the pumpkin spice, if using. With a potato masher, mash them up just enough, you don't want to be perfectly smooth. Otherwise, I think the texture is too much like baby food. Your choice. Note: I used a hand mixer, on low speed, in spurts so as not to puree the sweet potatoes too much. Now, in a separate bowl, add 1 cup brown sugar, 1 cup pecans, chopped, that means measure a cup of pecans, then chop them, 3/4 cup flour, and 3/4 stick of melted butter. With a fork, mix until thoroughly combined. Note: You can easily make this a day or two ahead Spread the sweet potato mixture into a regular baking dish and sprinkle the crumb mixture all over the top. I used individual ramekins. If adding the marshmallow creme, add it before the topping. You could use miniature marshmallows, but I really liked the creaminess of the marshmallow creme. You could leave the marshmallow out, altogether, and this is still a delicious recipe. Bake in a 400°F oven for 30 minutes, or until golden brown.
SWEET POTATO CASSEROLE WITH GINGERSNAP STREUSEL
This was taken from a magazine I subscribe to, and it is absolutely too good to lose track of, so I am posting it. I made this when I hosted Thanksgiving last year, and it had rave reviews from everyone. At the time I substituted milk for the half and half with no ill-effects. I also made it two weeks ahead of time and stuck it in the freezer until the night before the big day. Enjoy!
