Caramelized Sweet Potato Casserole


This recipe was one of the first recipes Michelle ever made on her own. It was given to her by her friend Melissa, and it has been a Thanksgiving favorite at our house ever since.

Caramelized Sweet Potato Casserole

3 C canned yams (Taylor's)
1/2 C sugar
1/2 tsp. salt
2 large eggs
1/4 C soft butter
1/2 tsp. vanilla
1/2 C heavy cream

Place yams in large bowl. Add all other ingredients. Beat mixture. Grease 1 1/2 qt. casserole dish, and pour mixture evenly into the dish. Add topping.

Topping:
1/2 C light brown sugar
1/3 C flour
3 T soft butter
1/4 C (or more) chopped pecan pieces

Mix together brown sugar and flour. Cut in butter with fork until mixture is crumbly. Add pecans. Place topping on top of sweet potato mixture. If desired, sprinkle more pecans on top.
