Yam Casserole

Yam Casserole: It’s a staple for us at Thanksgiving and Christmas

2 lbs yams (or 6 med)
1/3 C milk
¼ C brown sugar, packed
¼ C melted butter
1 t vanilla
½ t salt
1 egg
Topping :
4 T butter (melt in saucepan). Remove from heat and add:
1/2 C brown sugar (packed), 6 T flour, 2/3 C chopped walnuts or pecans. Stir until combined.

Cut off ends and woody portions of yams. Boil yams (I cut them into 2 inch round to cook them faster).
When fork tender , strain yams from water and cool. Remove skins.
Preheat oven to 350. In mixer combine yams, milk, brown sugar, butter, vanilla, salt and egg. Mix until
fluffy. Put into greased baking dish (I would use a 2 qt casserole dish). Top with topping mixture. Bake
for 30-35 minutes.
