Happy Thanksgiving from the McDaniels!

 Dad, of course mastered the turkey once again! It was so moist and tasty.


Jen made the most delicious Sweet Potato Casserole... BOMB! (recipe below!)



This is our stuffing (or as you might call it: dressing)... the best part are the apples and sausage, YUM!

You can't have Thanksgiving without Mom's famous garlic, cream cheese mash potatoes :)

Our dining room center piece 


My favorite dish this year was the sweet potatoes, so here's the recipe... you've got to try it! 

Sweet Potato Casserole

Ingredients

  • 4 cups sweet potato, cubed
  • 1/2 cup white sugar
  • 2 eggs, beaten
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 4 tablespoons butter, softened
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  •  
  • 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
  • 1/3 cup all-purpose flour
  • 3 tablespoons butter, softened
  • 1/2 cup chopped pecans

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Put sweet potatoes in a medium saucepan with water to cover. Cook over medium high heat until tender; drain and mash.
  2. In a large bowl, mix together the sweet potatoes, sugar, eggs, salt, butter, milk and vanilla. Mix until smooth. Transfer to a 9x13 inch baking dish.
  3. In medium bowl, mix the sugar and flour. Cut in the butter until the mixture is coarse. Stir in the pecans. Sprinkle the mixture over the sweet potato mixture.
  4. Bake in the preheated oven 30 minutes, or until the topping is lightly brown.
