Sweet Potato Casserole

This is a family recipe that my side of the family makes every year for Thanksgiving and Christmas. We just love it! People are always afraid that I won’t be willing to share the recipe because it’s a family recipe, but that’s the point of good food!!! To share! My family wouldn’t have this wonderful recipe if someone hadn’t shared the base recipe with my grandmother years and year ago that she tweaked into our version of it.

Filling:
3 cans sweet potatoes (15 oz ea), drained
1 stick butter
2 eggs
1 tspn vanilla

Topping:

Let sit for 10 minutes, then enjoy!
