Sweet Potato Casserole With Streusel Topping Recipe

2 cups mashed sweet potatoes (1 lb., 7 oz. can) -- I use fresh sweet potatoes

1/2 cup (1 stick) melted butter or margarine

1/2 cup sugar

2 eggs

1 cup evaporated milk

1/4 tsp. nutmeg

1/4 tsp. cinnamon

1/8 tsp. cloves

1/3 cup firmly packed brown sugar

1/3 cup finely chopped pecans

2 Tbs. all-purpose flour

2 Tbs. butter or margarine, softened to room temperature

1. Blend sweet potatoes, butter and sugar. Add eggs one at a time, beating after each. Add milk, nutmeg, cinnamon and cloves. Mix thoroughly and spoon mixture into a lightly greased baking dish.

2. To make topping: using a fork, mix brown sugar and remaining ingredients into a crumbly mixture, then sprinkle it over the sweet potatoes. Bake for 35 - 45 minutes.

NOTE: For Thanksgiving, I'll assemble this in the morning, then bake it right after the turkey comes out of the oven.
