  • 1 cup white sugar
  • 2 eggs
  • 1/3 cup butter

This was delicious with pork chops, so it's not just for Thanksgiving...

This is a keeper! Great with turkey,chicken, or pork, or even a small dish alone. Have to be very exact with ingredient amounts or can turn out runny, but recipe delivers as advertised. Just be sure to drain the sweet potato's thoroughly after cooking. I did alter the 8 serving portion a bit for personal taste: it's very sweet, so reduced white sugar to 1/2 cup; added 3/4 tsp each of ground cinnamon and allspice; used evaporated milk instead of regular milk...makes for a creamier mixture; and be careful not to overdo the pecans (one cup is a lot!). Everyone always wants seconds!!

This is a yummy, yummy dish. I made this three times over this last holiday season. Since I only had the 29 ounce cans, I used 2 of those cans and multiplied the recipe by 1.5, and baked it in a 9x13 casserole dish. It came out perfect! I had to bake it for more than 35 minutes...more like 45-50 minutes. Yummy! I'll be making this for every holiday. Added 12/22/06: I also made it this year and it's just as yummy! This time I baked the same 1.5 times the recipe and split into two 2-quart trays, and baked it for about 45 minutes. It was yummy and made it easy to bake one recipe for two potlucks.
