It's time for Thanksgiving so it's time for sweet potato casserole!!!  This is one of my favorite things to eat at the holidays.  Not my creation but one I have to share!

the casserole recipe is as follows:

3 cups mashed sweet potato (fresh, not canned!!)
1 cup of dark brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 eggs beaten
1/2 cup melted butter
1/2 cup milk (or evaporated milk if you like)
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 teaspoon cinnamon (or pumpkin pie spice if you have it on hand)
combine all this and put in a baking dish bake for 10 minutes at 350 degrees

topping (the best part)
1/2 cup dark brown sugar
1/3 cup all purpose flour
1/3 cup melted butter
1 cup chopped pecan
combine all this and put it on top of the potatoes and cook for an additional 20-25 minutes still at 350 degrees.
