Sweet Potato Casserole with Praline Topping

MGuerard

This is a favorite Thanksgiving or Christmas recipe for our family

1 cup all-purpose flour

⅔ cup packed brown sugar

¼ cup (or more, I use probably ⅔ cup) chopped pecans, toasted

¼ cup butter or stick margarine, melted

½ tsp. ground cinnamon

4 medium sweet potatoes, peeled and halved (about 2 ½ pounds)

½ cup granulated sugar

1 ½ tsp. vanilla extract

1 large egg white

1 (5-ounce) can fat-free evaporated milk

Cooking spray

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

2. Combine first five ingredients in a small bowl, stirring to form a streusel. Set aside.

3. Place potatoes in a Dutch oven; add water to cover. Bring to a boil; cover, reduce heat, and simmer 30 minutes or until very tender. Drain well. Mash in a large bowl.

4. Stir in 1 cup streusel, granulated sugar, vanilla, egg white, and milk.

5. Spoon into a two-quart casserole coated with cooking spray; top with remaining streusel. Bake at 350 degrees for 45 minutes.
