Sweet Potato Casserole. Dessert disguised as side. Very forgiving recipe ratio-wise and sugar can be adjusted easily.

Ingredients

• 4 ½ cups cooked and mashed sweet potatoes

• ½ cup white sugar

• ½ cup pure maple syrup

• ½ cup butter, melted

• ⅓ cup milk

• 2 eggs, beaten

• ½ teaspoon vanilla extract

• 1 cup light brown sugar

• ½ cup all-purpose flour

• ⅓ cup butter

• 1 cup chopped pecans

Directions

1. Gather the ingredients. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.

2. Mix mashed sweet potatoes, sugar, maple syrup, 1/2 cup melted butter, milk, eggs, and vanilla extract together in a large bowl; spread into the prepared baking dish.

3. Mix brown sugar and flour together in a small bowl; cut in 1/3 cup butter until mixture is crumbly, then stir in pecans. Sprinkle streusel mixture over sweet potatoes.

4. Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown, about 25 minutes.

I can do Lasagna or Salmon Patties (the secret is dill). I'll also pressure cook chicken, but that turns really dry if you have any leftovers. I can also do a good pot of beans, but I usually make a bad pot of beans for myself to honor my low-sodium goals and be lazy.

I used to make a good carrot cake w/ butter cream icing, but I haven't tried that in nearly 15 years.

Who does potlucks anymore? Have you not heard or experienced the phrase "You can't eat at everybody's house?"

Before COVID my potluck dish was something like a variety box of lunch chips. Individually packaged and shelf stable to avoid other people's dirty hands or food being left out too long.
