BOURBON-KISSED SWEET POTATO CASSEROLE

Category: Sweet Potatoes

Sweet Potatoes:
2 cups cooked, fresh sweet potatoes
3/4 cup sugar
1/4 tsp salt
4 tbsp butter
2 eggs, well beaten
1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
1/2 tsp grated nutmeg
1/4 cup milk
2 tbsp good bourbon – the kind you would not mind drinking
1/2 cup drained crushed pineapple
8 x 8-inch Pyrex baking dish, greased with butter.
(If doubling the recipe, use a 4-quart round casserole dish)

Preheat oven to 350. Beat the sugar, salt, butter, eggs, spices, milk, and pineapple into the cooked sweet potatoes. Pour into the baking dish.

Topping:
3/4 packed cup light brown sugar
1/3 cup flour
4 tbsp butter, melted
3/4 cup chopped pecans

Mix brown sugar and flour together. Add melted butter and mix. Add pecans and mix again. Spread out on top of sweet potato mixture. Bake at 350 for about 30 minutes, or until slightly browned on top. Serves 6.
