I know, I know.  Thanksgiving is over.  And it’s too late for anything with Sweet potatoes.  Plus, you HATE sweet potatoes…….well, this could make you a believer.  Especially if you like sweet, and fattening, and butter….(there’s always Christmas!)  (Christy brought this to dinner….If I had known about it before, I would have told you!!)

SWEET POTATO CASSEROLE

4 cups or 2 large cans drained sweet potatoes (not candied yams!  And yes, you can roast your own in the oven)

3 beaten eggs

1/2 cup warmed butter

1 tsp vanilla

Mix above and pour into 9×13 baking dish

Topping:

1 cup brown sugar

1 cup grated coconut

1 cup pecans
