Church Potluck Recipe: Sweet Potato Soufflé

Thanksgiving is almost here and most churches have a Thanksgiving potluck dinner. Here is something I like to bring to church and make for our Thanksgiving dinner at home.



Sweet Potato Soufflé

3 c sweet potato (cooked and mashed or 29 oz. can sweet potato), drained
1 c sugar
2 eggs, well beaten
1 t vanilla
½ c milk
½ c butter, melted
1 t vanilla (optional)

Mix potato ingredients together until well blended and spread in a 13 x 9 inch pan.


Topping:

1 c light brown sugar
½ c flour
1 c pecans, chopped
1/3 c butter

Mix well. Ingredients will be stiff and crumbly. Crumble over top of sweet potato. Bake in 350 degree oven for 30 minutes.


NOTE: This may also be put into 2 pie shells and served as a desert. Bake in 350 degree oven for 30 minutes.
