DRUNKEN SWEET POTATOES image

Yield 8-12

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 (29 ounce) cans sweet potatoes, drained
(I boil up fresh sweet potatoes until squishy)
1/2 cup butter, softened
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 cup orange juice
3 eggs, beaten
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup Southern Comfort liqueur
1/2 cup chopped pecans
1/2 cup light brown sugar (don't forget the marshmallows!)

Steps:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Place sweet potatoes in a large bowl. Beat with an electric mixer until light and fluffy. Mix in the butter, cinnamon, orange juice, eggs, salt, and liqueur. Transfer to a 2 quart casserole dish. Mix the pecans and brown sugar in a small bowl, and sprinkle evenly over the sweet potato mixture. Bake 30 to 40 minutes in the preheated oven, or until center is firm and edges are lightly browned. If desired the last 10 minutes of cook time, cook uncovered with marshmallows sprinkled on top (until marshmallows are just slightly browned and crispy!)
