Nicole's Alabama Sweet Potato Casserole

Ingredients:

• 4 whole Medium Yams or Sweet Potatoes
• 1 cup Sugar
• 1/2 cup Milk (Stef uses Evaporated Milk)
• 2 beaten Eggs (Stef uses 3 Eggs which makes it more like a souffle)
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
• 1 cube Butter, melted (Stef decreased to 1/4 cup)
• 2 teaspoons Cinnamon
• 1 cup Brown Sugar
• 1 cup chopped Pecans
• 1 cup Coconut
• 1/2 cup Flour
• 1 cube Butter, softened (Stef decreased to 1/4 cup)

Preparation:

Wash 4 medium sweet potatoes and bake them in a 375-degree oven until fork tender, about 30-35 minutes.  When they are finished cooking, slice them open and scoop out the flesh into a large bowl.

Add 1 cup of regular granulated sugar, 1/2 cup of milk, 2 beaten eggs, 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract, 1 cube of melted butter, and 2 teaspoons of cinnamon.  Mash potatoes with a potato masher until thoroughly mixed.

In a separate bowl, add 1 cup brown sugar, 1 cup chopped pecans, 1 cup coconut, 1/2 cup flour, and 1 cube of softened butter.  With a pastry cutter or fork, mix together until thoroughly combined.

Spread the sweet potato mixture into a 9" x 13" baking dish and sprinkle the crumb mixture all over the top.

Bake in a 375-degree oven for 30 minutes, or until golden brown.
