Not to be confused with evaporated milk, sweetened condensed milk is very sweet (and very sticky) and used primarily in desserts.


3 large sweet potatoes
1 cup sugar
2 eggs
1/2 cup butter, softened
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Crunch Topping
1/3 cup melted butter
1/3 cup flour
1 cup brown sugar
1 cup chopped pecans
1 tablespoon cinnamon
Boil potatoes until tender. Remove skins when cooled. Put into a large bowl and whip them until fluffy. Add remaining ingredients. Pour into a greased casserole and top with the Crunch Topping. Bake at 350 degrees F for 45 minutes.
Crunch topping: combine all ingredients until crumbly.

Not to be confused with evaporated milk, sweetened condensed milk is very sweet (and very sticky) and used primarily in desserts.
The name, vodka, comes from the Russian phrase zhiznennaia voda, or "water of life". It can be made from everything from potatoes to beets. It's considered to be fairly flavorless which makes it a great liquor for mixed drinks.
It may look like a sad little package shoved in the back of your freezer, but frozen spinach actually has a lot of culinary uses (and some may surprise you).

I have used this recipe for many years now and everyone loves it! The only thing I do differently is I use rolled oats instead of pecans. There are no pecans in Boston Markets recipe!
Been looking for the restuarant version of the recipe for about 3 years. My mother stumbled across this one. We are going to try it this Thanksgiving 11/27/14 so I will have to let you know what I think.

This is so good. Our family will not eat sweetpotatoes any other way. so much better than the marshmellow variety.

This recipe was too good to be true! So delicious. My mother bought an off brand of a frozen sweet potato casserol dish from Aldi. I searched for a recipe trying to mimmic it and this one hit right on the mark. Even better! Just delicious. My family loved it.

Great recipe I add a tsp of cinnamon, 1/2 tsp nutmeg, and a pinch of ginger, to the sweet potato mix and it comes out even better. Love this recipe, its really sweet!:)

I fixed this for my family's Christmas gathering about 8 years ago and now am told I cannot come unless I make this each year. It really is a favorite.

I have made this recipe for years now and it is always a favorite. I have learned to also add marshmallows on top and everyone likes that. Enjoy!

Tried this for big family dinner on Easter. It was VERY good!! We don't like nuts so I replaced the Pecans with uncooked Oats and it was PERFECT!! Very Good!!!

This recipe is wonderful. I think the orignal poster was thinking of the boston market frozen dinner sweet potato casserole instead of the restaurant one. The frozen diner one has no marshmallows, and does definitely have a pecan topping...this recipe is very very very close to the one in the frozen dinner, which is exactly what I was looking for, thank you.

Oh My God! This was the hit of my Thanksgiving Feast yesterday. MANY THANKS for this recipe. Its a MUST HAVE! I strongly recommend it!

I've been making this recipe every Thanksgiving for years, except I have always used yams. Even in my yam / sweet potato hating family, this disappears quickly!

This recipe is GREAT!!! You can also substitute ingrediants to make it more healthy and it still tastes great!

My girlfriend and I tried this recipe at our apartment and it was super delicious and we'll be trying other recipes from cdkitchen.

Made it for Thanksgiving 06' and it was GREAT I put some marshmallows! Not like Boston Market, but still it was good. Next time I'll try it with oatmeal and cinnamon.
Made this for Thanksgiving 2006- Everyone loved it although it didn't taste a lot like Boston Market's- Will definitely make it again!
This doesn't seem to be the right recipe, as i have worked for Boston Market and there is marshmallows in the topping and OATS not PECANS. there arent any pecans anywhere near the sweet potato pie.

This is a tasty recipe. However our Boston Market sweet potatoes have some marshmallow lumps and oats, so I will add that to this recipe.

I've worked at Boston Market for the past 3 years, (Ohio) and we have never used pecans in our topping. Its a combination of oatmeal, cinnamon and marshmellows.

This is an excellent copy of Boston Market's Sweet Potato Casserole. I added a layer of mini marshmallows for extra sweetness and old-fashioned taste, and used 3 CANS of yams (drained, mashed) to save time. This side dish gets raves every time I serve it and is a fabulous holiday treat (it really compliments pork and turkey). It's a great way to get children to eat vegggies and yams are packed with nutrition.

I don't believe this is the actual recipe, as it does not mention the marshmallows. It's still pretty good. I altered the topping because I'm allergic to pecans (another reason I'm not sure it's correct). I used oatmeal, regular sugar, and a little more cinnamon...baked for 30 minutes, then topped with baby marshmallows. Delicious!!!

Everybody loved this on Thanksgiving! Its not "exactly" like Boston Market's but its really close. The topping comes out looking like a pecan pie and equally yummy. The potatos are really smooth and sweet. Thanks a million to whomever submitted this!
