Two of my favorite meals for Thanksgiving (and Christmas) are sweet potato casserole and broccoli casserole. Here are my favorite recipes:
Sweet Potato Casserole
3 cup cooked, mashed sweet potatoes
1 stick melted butter
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 cup sugar
1 teaspoon cinnamon
2 eggs, well-beaten
1/3 cup milk
Topping
1 cup brown sugar, packed
1 cup chopped pecans
1/2 stick butter, softened
all-purpose flour to thicken
Mix casserole ingredients together and place in 2 qt casserole dish. Spread topping mixture over casserole mixture and bake at 350 degrees (F) for 30 minutes.
Broccoli Casserole
1 lg package broccoli
1 can cream of mushroom soup
1 1/2 cups shredded sharp cheddar (yes, it has to be sharp)
1 cup mayonnaise
2 eggs, beaten
1/2 teaspoon garlic salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 teaspoon seasoned salt (I like Lawry’s)
1 1/2 teaspoon lemon juice
Topping
2 slices bread, toasted and crumbled
4 tablespoons butter, melted
Preheat oven to 350 degrees (F). Combine all ingredients except those for the topping in a 13X9 casserole dish. Top with crumbed bread and pour melted butter over all. Bake uncovered for 45 minutes.
