Here is a recipe that’s been in my family for ages. I think it was my mother-in-law’s originally. I’m not sure where she got it. However, it is the most delicious sweet potato dish in the world. It is almost like a dessert. Actually, at times I have had an extra serving of this rather than eating dessert after a meal. It’s PERFECT for Thanksgiving or Christmas dinner.

SWEET POTATO SOUFFLE’

3 cups mashed sweet potatoes
1 cup sugar
3 eggs
1/2 cup milk
1/2 stick margarine
1 Tablespoon vanilla
1/2 tsp. salt

Topping:
1 cup brown sugar
1/2 stick margarine
1/2 cup self-rising flour
1 cup chopped pecans

Mix together the first seven ingredients, blending until smooth. Pour into a large casserole dish. Combine the topping ingredients and spread over the top of the potatoes. Bake in 350 degree oven until topping is a light brown. Makes 8-10 servings.
