Angie’s friend, Deb is very involved in Civil War re-enactments, and this recipe was discovered when she was asked to do a sweet potato dish that would be period accurate for a re-enactment holiday dinner. In an old cookbook of 19th-century recipes, she found this super simple casserole that turned out to be a hit at the party!<\/p>\n
3 lbs sweet potatoes (cooked, peeled, & mashed)
\n1\/4 cup brown sugar
\n3 Tbsp butter
\n1\/2 tsp cinnamon
\n1\/2 tsp nutmeg
\n1\/4 tsp salt
\n1 cup milk (cream is even better)<\/p>\n
Combine ingredients except for 2 Tbsp of the brown sugar. Put into a greased casserole, then sprinkle with remaining brown sugar. Bake at 400\u00b0 F for approximately 30 minutes.<\/p>\n
Yield: 6-10 servings<\/p>\n
Time to make: depends on how you cook the sweet potatoes (bake vs. boil) – add 35-40 minutes to that<\/p>\n
