Recipe from Healthy Kids, Smart Kids

Sweet Potato Casserole
 3 large or 6 medium sweet potatoes
1/2 c organic brown sugar
1/3 c pecans, chopped
1/2 c sugar
2 eggs
1/3 c soy margarine
1/2 c soy milk
2 t vanilla extract
2 t flour
2 t soy margarine to grease pan

Preheat oven to 425.  Scrub potatoes and prick deeply in several places so steam can escape.  Place on a baking sheet and bake for 1 hour or until done.  Remove from oven and allow to cool.  Reduce oven to 350.  When the potatoes are cool enough to handle, remove skin and mash potatoes into a bowl.  In a small bowl, mix brown sugar and pecans, set aside.  In a medium bowl, combine sugar, eggs, margarine, milk, vanilla extract, and flour.  Add mixture to sweet potatoes.  Using an electric mixer at medium speed, beat the potatoes until creamy.  Pour mixture into greased 12" X 8" X 2" pan.  Sprinkle sugar and nut mixture over potatoes and bake for 30 minutes.  Allow to cool before cutting and serve.
