Fall has officially arrived and some of the trees are starting to turn in our neighborhood. After a week of above average temperatures (in the 80s), they finally dropped to just the upper 60s and lows even in the mid 40s this week. I find it interesting that with temperature changes your appetite just seems to shift to different foods.
I was looking through my old spiral notebook that I started keeping over 20 years ago when I saw this recipe for Reba McEntire's Praline Sweet Potato Casserole. I had written it on a page. (Most of the recipes in this notebook are ones I cut out of a magazine, newspaper, etc and glued in the book.) I didn't include where I saw the recipe so I can't give anything or anybody credit. Maybe I saw it when I was reading an article about Reba.
I think I had never tried it because I had a recipe my husband and I really, really love that I got from friends we first met when we moved to Ventura, CA back in the late 80s. It is always my "go-to" recipe when I made a sweet potato casserole. Well, this one taste totally different and my husband couldn't tell me enough how much he liked it.
REBA McENTIRE'S PRALINE SWEET POTATO CASSEROLE
1 can (40 - oz) sweet potatoes, drained
1/3 cup sugar (I did use stevia)
2 tablespoons margarine, melted (I used butter)
1 teaspoon vanilla
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 large eggs
TOPPING:
3/4 cup packed brown sugar (I used 1/4 cup + 2 tablespoons brown sugar blend)
1/4 cup pecans, chopped
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons margarine, melted (I used butter)
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Grease a shallow 1-1/2 - quart casserole.
In a bowl, mash the sweet potatoes.
Stir in the sugar, margarine, vanilla, cinnamon, salt, and eggs. ( I beat the eggs before adding them.)
Spoon into prepared casserole dish.
Mix dry topping ingredients together in a bowl. Then add melted butter and mix until crumbly.
Sprinkle on top of potato mixture.
Bake for 30 minutes.
