For LYVVIE!!!!!! ahem....


SWEET POTATO CASSAROLE

you need:
1 can of sweet potatos
1 cup white sugar
1 cup packed brown sugar
about a handfull of mini marshmallows


Open the can of sweet potatoes with a can opener almost all the way so you can use the lid to strain the juice.
KEEP THE JUICE!
Pour the juice from the sweet potatoes into a sauce pan
add the white and brown sugar to the sauce
you want to cook this mixture on low-med STIRRING CONSTANTLY
you can bring it up to a low boil to make the process go faster but you have to really be on it and not let it scorch.

Stir and cook the sauce till its nice and thick like between honey and molasses.

put the sweet potatoes in a small dish about 6" by 6" or something to that effect
pour the sauce over them and put it in the oven on 350 for about 10 mins or so till warm.
take it out of the oven and sprinkle the mini marshmallows on top in an even layer covering all the sweet potatoes.

pop it back in the oven for just a couple of mins till the marshmallows are browned slightly

BE CAREFUL YOU KNOW HOW FAST MARSHMALLOWS BURN!!!

ta da!

dig in.

  5. Yes your CANDIED YAMS looked great. This isn't a casserole... but we do have a good recipe for a sweet potato casserole and it beats this all to pieces. BTW, after the liquid cools down and becomes very thick you can wax your legs with it! That is if you don't like sweet potatoes and prefer smooth legs. Hey with smooth legs go out and let some smuck buy you dinner.
