Sugar-Crusted Sweet Potato Casserole image

FLAVOR GALORE!!! This is a popular dish in my area and it is also my Aunt Catherine's recipe. The dish always comes back empty from a potluck! The crunchy goodness on top is what makes this casserole go over well. A great dish to have any time of the year.

Number Of Ingredients 12

5 sweet potatoes, mashed

2 tablespoons butter, melted
2 teaspoons vanilla extract

Steps:

  • Note for quick method of cooking sweet potatoes -- I put the sweet potatoes in a baking dish and add 1/4 cup of water. Put a lid on and microwave for approximately 20 minutes. After they have cooled, peel and mash.
  • Mix all 8 ingredients for sweet potato mixture. Pour into a greased casserole dish. Bake in a 350 degree oven for 35 minutes and see below for crunchy topping.
