ingredients

Base
- 5-6 sweet potatoes
- 177.44 ml white sugar
- 118.29 ml margarine
- 2 eggs
- 1.23 ml almond extract
- 4.92 ml vanilla extract

Topping
- 118.29 ml flour
- 118.29 ml brown sugar
- 59.14 ml butter, melted
- chopped pecans (optional)
- marshmallows (optional)
directions
- Boil or microwave potatoes until tender. Wait for them to cool enough so, that you can peel them. The peeling should slide right off.
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- Mash the potatoes.
- Combine all the ingredients for the base.
- Add them to the mashed potatoes and stir well.
- After mixed, place in a casserole dish. I usually use an 8 x 14 rectangle. Depending on how little or how much you are making.
- Combine ingredients for topping. Except marshmallows, if using them. The mixture should be kind of crumbly.
- Spread evenly on top.
- Place in oven and cook for 35 to 40 minutes.
- When done spread marshmallows on top and put back in the oven for about 5 minutes or until golden brown.

WONDERFUL flavor! I cut the recipe in half since there are only two of us. I used brown sugar instead of white. This is the way we always have our sweet potato casserole in the South! Very, Very tasty and good for a potluck dinner. Prepared as a participant in the Southern, Cajun, Creole Tag September 2009 Event in the Cooking Photo Forum.

I would like to start collecting recipes for pets.I eventually would like to start my own business specializing in pet foods and accessories. I found this itch from my pet Ozzy. He is soooo picky about what he eats. He does not like dog food that much and he is spoiled rotten.
