Makes a 2 quart casserole, serves 6 to 8 people. Line a cookie sheet with aluminum foil. Bake 6 to 8 yams, enough to make 3 cups after being mashed.
Mix and beat until smooth: Topping:
2/3 c. sugar ½ c. brown sugar
1/3 c. butter ¼ c. flour
2 eggs, beaten 4 tsp. butter
1 tsp. vanilla 2/3 c. crushed pecans
1/3 c. milk Spread over top. Marshmallows optional.
Add yams into the mixture.
Bake at 350 for 25 minutes.
My husbands family weren’t big on yams when I first got married. To make the Thanksgiving meal complete I had to have them so I brought them every year to their dinner. I inevitably would bring home half a dish because only my family ate them.
One year a friend gave me this recipe. I brought it to the inlaws and they have been eating them and asking for them ever since.
