2008 christmas dinner suggestions

What about sweet potato souffle? This is SO good, everyone loves it, and I dont even like sweet potatoes!

Sweet potato casserole

Bake potatoes first- I wrap in foil and bake them like you would a white potato for an hour or so. Wait until they cool, then easily peel away skins.

Ingredients

1 stick butter
1 T vanilla
3 cups sweet potatoes
1/2 Cup sugar
2 beaten eggs
1/4 cup evaporated milk

Topping
3/4 cup brown sugar
1 stick hard butter
1/2 cup flour
1 cup nuts

Mix potatoes, sugar, vanilla, evap. milk,eggs and butter. Pour in buttered casserole dish. In a separate bowl combine brown sugar,flour, butter and mix well to make crumbs. add nuts to the mix (I use walnuts). Sprinkle on top of potato mixture and bake for 30 mins at 350 degrees

I make this for every holiday. I also add pumpkin pie spice or seperate spices. Whatever you like(if you like spice). My family treats it like a dessert and they go absolutely crazy over it.

It is good , isnt it?

If I dont bring it, my family gets so upset!

I have tried it with coconut as well, but I did not like that as a topping.
-------------------------------------




I forgot to add I use a BIG bag of those tiny marshmellows, I put them on the last 5 minutes, and let them brown a bit. If you have not tried it this way, try it! IT IS DELISH! More like a dessert for us too
