Thanksgiving receipt

[bikerchick68]

suzie... here is hand's down the best recipe I've ever had... from famed chef Emeril Legasse:

Emeril's Sweet Potato Casserole

3 cups mashed sweet potatoes (about 4 med size)
1/4 cup OJ
1 tsp ground cinnamon
1 tsp ground nutmeg
1/2 tsp ground mace
1/2 tsp salt
3/4 cup firmly packed brown sugar
1/2 cup raisins
1 sm can pineapple chunks
2 cups mini marshmallows

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Butter a 9X13 pan. Bake sweet potatoes until fork tender, peel and mash. In large bowl combine potatoes, OJ, cinnamon, nutmeg, mace and salt and beat until smooth. Spoon into pan and sprinkle with brown sugar, pineapple and raisins. Arange single layer of marshmallows over the top and bake about 20 minutes. Can be made a day ahead and then baked about 35 minutes before serving.

This recipe doesn't have nuts, but I have added chopped pecans as well... I've made it every year for the last 4... it is VERY rich, but man, it's a no fail crowd pleaser! AND it's EASY... which makes it my favorite recipe

2 cups mini marshmallows

Gag, hack, urgg . . . .Thank goodness there's someone around that will make those things feel loved.

I've got one similar to that one, but might I suggest using the full-sized marshmallows? If mini's are good, big ones are better!

I also have a recipe that doesn't use the marshmallows at all - just a combination of brown sugar, butter and pecans. Yum!

[Xrayted]

Sounds good. (but without the raisins, I think)

[BleeckerSt_Girl]

Maybe skip the sweet potatoes and add an extra bag of marshmallows...

Mine's a tiny bit more involved, but it bakes up nice and fluffy, hence the name: Sweet Potato Souffle.

6 sweet potatoes, cooked & mashed
½ cup sugar
½ cup brown sugar
1 t. cinnamon
Dash of salt
3 eggs
½ cup heavy cream
1 t. vanilla
½ cup chopped walnuts
Mini-marshmallows for garnish

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Combine all ingredients except marshmallows, adding the eggs one at a time. Pour into a buttered baking dish and top with marshmallows. Bake 35 minutes.

Mmmmmmm.....................

They sound good ,but I could do with out the raisins ,and pinapples. Ju Ju ..yours sounds perfect. Maybe skip the heavy cream ,and use milk.
Thanks for the suggestions.

Yes, this is like the recipe I use use- give or take an ingredient or 2(I usually don't put raisins, but lots of marshmellows). One of my all time favorites. and I've got sweet potatoes too that will be ready by t-day Jennifer

The thread about dressing made me remember this thread. BikerChick, you aren't getting any ideas this year, are you?

BTW, where have you been?

Who needs marshmallows when you have brown sugar, butter & pecans?-
that's Pa cahns . . . . . and don't forget the Pet milk!
