Aunt Bee's Sweet Potatoes

Still wondering how to make your sweet potato casserole tomorrow?  Look no further...this recipe from Aunt Bee's Mayberry Cookbook (remember her from the Andy Griffith Show?) is super delish! I've been using it for years...

3 C. cooked, mashed sweet potatoes (my daughter-in-law has taken canned yams in her suitcase to make this recipe in Brazil and it worked fine.)
1 C. white sugar
2 eggs
1tsp. vanilla extract (if you use imitation, which you shouldn’t, use twice as much)
1/3 C. milk
½ C. butter
1 C. brown sugar
1/3 C. all-purpose flour
1/3 C. butter
1 C. pecans—chopped


In a mixing bowl combine the sweet potatoes, sugar, eggs, vanilla, milk, and ½ C. butter. Beat until smooth. Turn the mixture into a casserole dish. In a bowl combine brown sugar, flour, and 1/3 C. butter. Crumble the mixture over the potato mixture and sprinkle with pecans. Bake in a 350 degree oven for 30 minutes. You can do this while the turkey is standing.

  1. I have made a sweet potato casserole very similar to this recipe for years and everyone loves it. I prefer to use fresh mashed sweet potatoes and I use evaporated canned milk. It's one of the best sweet potato casseroles I've ever tasted!
