Sweet potato casserole

We have 6 cookouts this month, yay! I love a good cookout. I always contribute deviled eggs because it is easy and I have a phobia of cooking for other people. Seriously. I am always worried they will hate it or it will turn out horrendous. So I make deviled eggs and Jonathan makes sweet potato casserole. This dish is melt in your mouth amazing.

Ingredients

• 4 cups mashed sweet potatoes
• 1 cup white sugar
• 2 eggs, beaten
• 1/2 cup milk
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/3 cup butter, melted
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract                    
• 1 cup packed brown sugar
• 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
• 1/3 cup butter, melted
• 1 cup chopped pecans (we use Special K cereal)

Directions

1. In a mixing bowl, combine the sweet potatoes, sugar, eggs, milk, salt, 1/3 cup butter and vanilla. Mix together and pour into a greased 13x9 inch baking dish.
2. To prepare the topping, combine in a separate bowl the brown sugar, flour, 1/3 cup melted butter and pecans. Mix together and crumble over sweet potato mixture. Bake uncovered at 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) for 35 to 45 minutes.

We had our first cookout last night and had a ball.
