Charline’s Sweet Potato Casserole

Ingredients

• 4 cups sweet potatoes, peeled and cubed
• 2 cups white sugar
• 4 eggs, beaten
• 3/4 cup margarine, melted
• 1 cup evaporated milk
• 1 teaspoon ground nutmeg
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 2 cups miniature marshmallows
• 1 cup flaked coconut
• 1 1/2 cups crushed cornflakes cereal
• 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
• 1 cup chopped pecans
• 3/4 cup margarine, melted

Directions

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Prepare a 9×13 inch baking dish with butter.

In a large bowl, mash the sweet potatoes. Mix together with sugar, eggs, 3/4 cup margarine, evaporated milk, nutmeg, cinnamon, marshmallows and coconut. Scoop the mixture into the baking dish.

Bake 20 minutes in the preheated oven, or until sweet potatoes are tender.

In a small bowl, mix the crushed cornflakes, brown sugar, pecans and remaining 3/4 cup margarine. Spread the topping over the baked casserole.

Return the casserole to the 400 degrees F (200 degrees C) oven and bake an additional 10 minutes.
