I had seen this beautiful button around the blogosphere, but just realized I better get in gear if I want to share the culinary joy. I am the lucky blogger who gets to go to Fried Okra’s for Thanksgiving. I know, you are all jealous. She is preparing the big guns, but I’ll be adding the sweet potato casserole (recipe below) and the corn pie (I see lots of recipes for that have already been shared). Corn pie is a new holiday fave of mine. Try it! This is my mother-in-law’s recipe for sweet potato casserole. It is delicious, as is every recipe of hers. (Jedi skills) Enjoy.
3 c. mashed sweet potatoes
1/2 t. salt
1/2 c. milk
1/2 c. sugar
2 eggs
1/3 stick butter
1 t. vanilla
Mix all of the above together and put it in a large casserole.
Topping:
1 c. light brown sugar
1 c. chopped pecans
1/3 stick butter
1/3 c. flour
Mix together and spread on top of potatoes.
Bake 35 minutes at 350 degrees.
This is close to my recipe - I love it cause it taste like dessert! :o)
Jedi skills no doubt. With all that butter and sugar even I would eat it. (I’m sweet potato allergic…
OOOH GIRL! I’ve been thinkin’ maybe we should have a trial run this weekend, you know, just to make sure it’s all going to be delicious enough for the Big Day. Hmmm? I’m sure D and Al wouldn’t mind. Hee hee. I can’t wait to get my spoon on your two dishes! YUM.
oh you lucky girl!
This is one of my very favorite-est things to eat. I could eat it at every meal AND for dessert!
Thanks for joining in the fun!
Blessings,

I make mine pretty much the same way! It is always a big hit too.
Have a great Thanksgiving!
Sounds wonderful! Thanks for sharing : )
