Ah, the unassuming envelope of onion soup mix. It's more than just for onion soup (or dip). It adds tremendous flavor (and convenience) in all these recipes.
Farmhouse Sweet Potato Pie With Pecan Streusel

- #10216
Who says only apple and cherry pies deserve a crumb topping? Crunchy spiced pecan streusel turns a good sweet potato pie into a great one, adding textures and flavors to contrast the creamy filling.

ingredients
1 1/2 cup cooked, mashed sweet potatoes
1/4 cup butter very soft or slightly melted
1/2 cup packed brown sugar
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
2 slightly beaten eggs
1 cup half and half
1 (9-inch size) deep dish pie shell
Pecan Streusel
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 cup packed brown sugar
1/8 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg
2 tablespoons butter
1/4 cup chopped toasted pecans
directions
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
In a bowl, mix together the butter and sweet potatoes by hand. Stir in the brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger. Add the eggs and half and half and mix until uniform in color.
Pour the filling into the pie shell. Place the pie in the oven and bake at 375 degrees F for 30 minutes.
While the pie is baking, combine the flour, brown sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg for the streusel topping. Cut in the butter with a pastry blender or two forks until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Stir in the pecans by hand.
Sprinkle the pie with the topping and return it to the oven. Bake for 20-25 minutes longer or until a knife inserted in the center of the pie comes out clean.
Let the pie cool before serving.
Store leftovers in the refrigerator.

This gets excellent raves! I used 3-4 sweet potatoes. I used a little salt. I used more of everything except eggs and cream (3/4 cup).Bake for an hour at 375 degrees and then 400 degrees for 20 minutes.

I have made this pie many times for holidays and just every day deserts. It is really good. I passed it along to my sister.
