Sweet Potato Casserole

INGREDIENTS

• 2 large cans of sweet potatoes – 40 oz drained
• 1 12 ounce can of evaporated milk
• 3 eggs
• 1 cup sugar
• 1 stick of butter, melted
• 1 teaspoon vanilla
• 1 teaspoon salt

Topping

• 2 cups crushed Rice Krispies cereal. 
• 1 cup finely chopped pecans
• 1¼ cups brown sugar
• 1 stick butter, melted (add an additional ½ stick to lessen dryness of topping)

INSTRUCTIONS

1. Whip sweet potatoes a little to soften. We usually use a hand mixer. 
2. Add the remaining ingredients and whip together.    
3. Place in a large casserole dish – 9″x13″.
4. In one bowl, combine cereal and pecans.
5. In another bowl, combine brown sugar and butter. 
6. Add butter-sugar mixture to cereal-pecans mixture, and stir until everything is thoroughly mixed.   
7. Spoon mixture on top of sweet potatoes.    
8. Bake at 350 degrees for 1 hr…possibly cover with foil near the end if the top is getting too brown.
