Sweet Potato Casserole

I was in a mood for something sweet but not too much like a dessert. So here is what I decided to do to deal with that craving. Turns out, it was good as part of a meal and all by itself like a dessert. Yum!

Crunchy top and fluffy potatoes

Sweet Potato Casserole

3 medium sized sweet potatoes
2 eggs beaten
1/2 cup butter, melted
1/3 cup orange juice
2 Tbsp sugar
1 tsp salt
1 tsp cinnamon
1/3 cup bourbon
Handful of coconut chips

Topping:
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/3 cup flour
1/3 cup butter, melted
1/2 cup pecan, crushed by hand

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Microwave sweet potatoes under the baked potato setting and remove the skin. In a medium bowl, combine everything except for the topping, and beat well with a whisk. In a separate bowl, combine the topping ingredients, and mix well. Transfer the sweet potato mixture with the pecan topping and bake for 45 minutes.

There are good by themselves.

Dark rum would work, too.

Good as a side, even better as a small snack.

We want some, too...
