Kelli's Sweet Potatoes

Greg is always in charge of sweet potatoes at Thanksgiving dinner. This is Kelli's recipe that stayed with our family. Greg makes them a bit healthier by halving the sugar and topping. I like them that way, too.

Kelli's Sweet Potatoes
4 large sweet potatoes, peeled, cooked and hot
1 cup butter at room temp
1 cup sugar
4 eggs
2/3 cup evaporated milk
2 tsp vanilla

Mix together and pour into a baking dish. (9x13 or 10x15 )

Topping
2 cups brown sugar, packed
1/2 cup butter at room temp
2/3 cup flour
2 cups pecans, chopped
marshmallows, optional

Mix topping ingredients with a fork until crumbly. Sprinkle over casserole. Cook at 375 degrees for 35 minutes.
