Ruth's Chris Sweet Potato Casserole

Ruth's Chris Sweet Potato Casserole

I love sweet potatoes just about any way you can fix them.  
This was a delicious casserole we tried this holiday season 
that is served at Ruth's Chris Steakhouse.  
It was delicious and one of the easiest I have ever put together!

1 cup brown sugar

1/3 cup flour

1 cup pecans

1/4 cup butter, melted

Sweet Potato Mixture:

3 cups mashed sweet potatoes, fresh baked or canned

1 cup sugar

1/2 tsp salt

1 tsp vanilla

2 eggs, beaten well

1/2 cup butter, melted

Combine brown sugar, flour, nuts and butter in a bowl; set aside.

and butter in a mixing bowl; mix thoroughly.

Pour mixture into 9 x 13 baking dish.  

Sprinkle the surface evenly with the crust mixture.
