My favorite Thanksgiving recipe

Someone recently asked me what my favorite Thanksgiving recipe is... it is most definitely the sweet potato casserole that my mom makes every year. It is so good... it's almost like dessert!

Here's the recipe...

Sweet Potato Casserole

4 lbs sweet potatoes, cooked and mashed (approx. 6 cups)

Beat sweet potatoes until fluffy. Mix in the following:

2 eggs
3/4 cups brown sugar
1/4 cup butter, melted
1 tsp salt
1 tsp cinnamon
1 cup orange juice

Put in a 2 qt. casserole dish. Top with pecan halves, 1/4 cup brown sugar, drizzle with melted butter.

Bake uncovered at 375 degrees for 20 minutes.
