Ingredients

The Filling

  • 3 cups mashed sweet potatoes {yams} canned
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1/3 cup butter room temp
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 tsp vanilla

Topping

  • 1 cup coconut
  • 1 cup pecans chopped
  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • 1/3 cup flour
  • 1/3 cup butter melted

Instructions

The Filling

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees
  • Drain the can of sweet potatoes and add to a medium size bowl. Use a hand mixer to mash.
  • Add the remaining ingredient and blend into the mashed sweet potatoes using the mixer.
  • We normally use a greased 13x9 pan. However, for a decorative approach we used 8 oz jelly jars. So prepare either one.
  • Add the filling evenly to the pan or jars.

Topping

  • In a bowl combine all the ingredients.
  • Add an even layer to the potato mixture.
  • Add to the oven and bake for 20 minutes. The top should be a nice golden brown when baked.
