Sweet Potato Casserole with Pecans
This convenient sweet potato casserole with pecan topping calls for canned sweet potatoes, so preparation time is minimal. The nutty brown sugar topping adds a bit of crunch. —Anita Briner, Etters, Pennsylvania

Is this supposed to be a dessert or a side dish? Put it in a crust and you'd have sweet potato pie.
Okay, here's the deal. Use three eggs like everyone is saying. 8 eggs?? who hurt you?? Anyway, three eggs. Add cinnamon to your recipe because it's the law, and measure it with your heart. How can this get better? Double the pecan topping recipe to make a crust on top. Pecan crust has to cover the entire top. Add cinnamon to that as well because you deserve great things in life. You're welcome.
Great taste. I took the advice from one of the comments and just used 3 lg eggs. Another thing I changed was that I added some cinnamon.
Way too many eggs. Didn't like the consistency at all. The topping was great.
I have been making this recipe for 25 years and THERE IS A MISTAKE in the # of eggs. There should only be 3 eggs. Also, I melt the butter for the topping to mix in the brown sugar and nuts better. I cook fresh sweet potatoes 3-4 lbs. and the more topping the better. Try again with the correct # of eggs and it will be great.
for cilotspeich-under the picture there are 5 small tan boxes. The last box on the right will say print. That will take you to the "print" page. You can choose whether to have picture, etc on your printed page. Click that print button and it will take you to your own printer page (finally, lol). press print there and it will finally print.

Did not like at all; especially the egg. Definitely will not fix this again. Only made it due to the high rating. Won't make that mistake again, either.
Plan to make this for Thanksgiving. Does anyone know if I can prepare and refrigerate this the day before, then pop it in the oven on Thanksgiving morning? Thank's for sharing this recipe.
I decided to try something different other than just plain sweet potatoes for Christmas dinner, I used 2.5 pounds of whole sweet potatoes, microwaved until done and then scooped them out of their skins, I used a 2 qt. casserole dish and cut the recipe in half. It was a fabulous dish, very tasty, it will now always be on the holiday table. Thanks for sharing!
