Sweet Potato Casserole
Last Christmas for our family Christmas party, my aunt made an awesome sweet potato casserole. The topping was brown sugar and pecans, which gave a nice crunch to the creamy sweet potatoes. Seth really 
enjoyed it as well, so I asked my aunt for the recipe. A year later, Seth asked me to make this casserole for his Christmas party at work, and of course, I have no idea where the recipe is. I searched everywhere and couldn’t find it. So at 10:30 last night, I called my mom and asked if she had the recipe. She said she didn’t, but she would look. She found a recipe for Sweet Potato Crunch that she thought was the one, but as she is reading the recipe to me, I knew it wasn’t right. The recipe called for 3 cups of sweet potatoes and 1 1/3 of milk, which I believe would turn into sweet potato soup (sorry Mom). I searched the , and found a lot of recipes, but they all seemed vague – four cups of sweet potatoes, 40 ounces of sweet potatoes, 3 pounds of sweet potatoes – all calling for the same size pan and same amount of sugar. I ended up devising my own recipe, based on many others. This has never really worked out for my in the past, but today must have been my lucky day (or maybe Seth’s since this was for him). I ended up going with 5 pounds of sweet potatoes, which filled a 13×9 dish perfectly. I was hoping for a little extra so I could have some for myself, but I guess I will just have to wait to hear what everyone else thinks.
