1 homemade basic pie crust (use sugar substitute)
7 1/4 teaspoons sugar substitute
2 cups mashed, cooked sweet potatoes
2 eggs, slightly beaten
1 tablespoon margarine, softened
1 tablespoon flour
1 can (12 ounce size) fat-free evaporated milk
1 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
3/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon ground mace, optional
1/2 teaspoon salt
light whipped topping, as garnish
Roll pastry on floured surface into circle 1 1/2 inches larger than inverted 9-inch pie pan. Ease pastry into pan; trim and flute.
Mix sweet potatoes, eggs, margarine, sugar substitute, and flour until blended in large bowl; mix in remaining ingredients, except whipped topping. Pour mixture into pastry.
Bake at 425 degrees F for 20 minutes; reduce heat to 350 degrees F and bake until filling is set and sharp knife inserted halfway between center and edge comes out clean, 30 to 35 minutes. Cool on wire rack. Serve with light whipped topping.
Variation: Spiced Pumpkin Pie-Make recipe as above, substituting canned pumpkin for the sweet potatoes and omitting eggs, margarine, flour, vanilla, and mace.

Pumpkins aren't just for pies or Halloween decorations. These large, orange gourds - while naturally sweet - also work well in savory dishes. They pair well with poultry and pork (and especially bacon) and their creamy-when-cooked texture blends easily into soups.
If you're a fan of the menu at this American chain of restaurants which serves a variety of foods such as burgers, steaks, pasta, and seafood then you'll love this collection of copycat recipes.
A can of cream of mushroom soup can be a real dinner saver. It works great in casseroles and can turn into a sauce or gravy in a pinch.
