Read my review of this recipe.

Ingredients:

• 5 pounds sweet potatoes
• 1 cup white sugar
• 2 eggs, beaten
• 1/2 cup evaporated milk
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/3 cup butter, melted
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Topping:

• 1 cup packed brown sugar
• 1/2 cup flour
• 1/3 cup butter, melted
• 1 cup chopped pecans

Directions:

Peel the sweet potatoes and cut into 1 inch pieces. Place in a large pot of boiling, salted water and cook for 15 minutes, until the sweet potatoes are very tender. Drain and transfer to a large mixing bowl. Add sugar, evaporated milk, salt, butter, vanilla, and eggs, and beat with a mixer until creamy. Pour into a greased 9×13 casserole dish.

For the topping, combine the brown sugar, flour, pecans, and butter into a dish and mix well to combine. Sprinkle the mixture of the sweet potatoes.

Bake at 350 degrees for 30 to 35 minutes.

I would say this serves 12 people for a regular side dish but many more for a pot luck dinner.

Substitutions:

I cut the sugar down to 1/4 cup in the sweet potatoes. To make everyone happy, try replacing half of the topping with mini marshmallows (add them the last 10 minutes of baking).
