YUMMY YAM CASSEROLE



Yummy Yam Casserole image

I call this the 'recipe with legs' because every time I serve it, the recipe is requested. Even those who dislike yams and sweet potatoes love this tasty dish! This dish can be frozen, but freeze it without the pecan topping. Defrost before baking.

THE BEST SWEET POTATO CASSEROLE



The Best Sweet Potato Casserole image

We opted for a nutty crumb topping over marshmallows to create a pleasantly crunchy contrast to the creamy and soft mashed sweet potatoes. The filling gets a pumpkin pie-like treatment, with brown sugar and vanilla for a deep caramel flavor and butter and eggs for richness. This recipe is bound to become a holiday staple.

YUMMY YAM CASSEROLE

My boss' wife always makes these for the annual Christmas party. They are to die for. Better than the kind made with marshmallows IMHO. Thanks, Holly! Note: This recipe can be doubled and placed in one large 9x13 dish but the baking thime also needs to be doubled. Added to OMAC (thanks to the freezer tag game) See freezing and cooking directions at the bottom of instructions.
