Fast Family Feasts: Sweet Potato Casserole Microwave Miracle

Quick Thanksgiving Side #3

For the finale of the Quick Thanksgiving Sides for your Fast Family Thanksgiving Feast, here is my Sweet Potato Casserole. This came out so wonderful, especially the caramilzed pecan crumble on top. Now this is VERY VERY sweet, so just beware if you use the full amounts of sugar from the recipe. Next time I make this I will definitely cut down on the sugar. Though my diet hated me for eating this super sweet Sweet Potato Casserole, I loved every bite!! :)

Instructions

Prep - 10 Min

Peel, wash & cube Sweet Potatoes (about 1" cubes).

It may take you less time to prep, but I'm a slow potato peeler.

Add 1/2 cup Water.

Cook - 23 Min

Note: Recipe tested in a 900 Watt Microwave.

Place in Dish and put Lid on. Cook in Microwave on High for 10 min.

While cooking:
In a med bowl, combine the White Sugar, Eggs, Salt, Milk & Vanilla. Set aside for later.

Make pecan crumble:
In another med bowl, mix the Brown Sugar and Flour. Cut in the Butter, until a coarse crumble. Stir in Pecans. Set aside for later.

I mixed mine TOO much in the Kitchen-Aid so it became dough. Still yummy, but try it more crumbly.
