Now this is called Sweet Potato Casserole but it is actually made with Yams. Yes, there is a difference. I took this to a Potluck at work andi t was a big hit. It is not healthy AT ALL but if you like yams, you will love this!
5 cups Yams, cubed
1/2 c white sugar
2 eggs, beaten
1/2 tsp salt
4 tbsp butter
1/2 c cream
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
Topping
1/2 c brown sugar, packed
1/3 c flour
3 tbsp butter, softened
1/2 c chopped pecans (I used a cup)
Boil yams until soft. Preheat oven to 325 degrees. In a large bowl, mix together the yams, sugar, eggs, salt, butter, cream, and vanilla. Mix until smooth. Transfer to a greased 9x13 baking dish.
In a medium bowl, mix sugar and flour. Cut in butter until mixture is coarse. Stir in pecans. Cover top of yams with mixture. Bake in oven for 30 minutes or until topping is lightly browned. Yummy!
