Sweet Potato Casserole - the Best Ever!

Just thinking forward to Thanksgiving and our farm menu. This sweet potato casserole is a MUST at our table and in my humble opinion, I think it should be presented at yours too!  I am going to try it in this traditional way and using one of the Cinderella Pumpkins we have here at the farm.

Ingredients:

5 medium size sweet potatoes. boil and mash - should be around 3 cups. Mix with the mashed sweet potatoes:

2 eggs beaten

1/2 c - 3/4 c sugar

1/2 stick of melted butter

1/2 t. nutmeg and cinnamon

1 c milk (we use whole/organic milk)

mix this together - well.

place in a buttered 9x12 inch pan and bake for 20 minutes at 400 degrees.

the topping:

3/4 crushed cornflakes

1/2 c. chopped pecans

1/2 c brown sugar and 1/2 stick of melted butter Mix this and spread over the top of the baked casserole. then bake for 8 - 10 minutes

Growing Sweet Potatoes and Sweet Potato Casserole

One of the best things about farming is meeting wonderful people like Jill and her husband Hal. I'm sure you remember Jills Jam?

Jill is a wealth of gardening information (hint hint) and one of her older blog posts {here} will tell you all about how to grow sweet potatoes . . . so that . . .you can make this (below) Sweet Potato Casserole in time for the autumn holidays!  Our farm will definitely be growing a ton of sweet potatoes this year. Did you know how that they're very high in calcium?

Ingredients:
5 medium size sweet potatoes. boil and mash - should be around 3 cups. Mix with the mashed sweet potatoes:
2 eggs beaten
1/2 c - 3/4 c sugar
1/2 stick of melted butter
1/2 t. nutmeg and cinnamon
1 c milk (we use whole/organic milk)
mix this together - well.

place in a buttered 9x12 inch pan and bake for 20 minutes at 400 degrees.
