Sweet Potato-Pecan Casserole

This was the first time we made this recipe at Thanksgiving. Shane decided he wanted a sweet potato recipe so he found this casserole one. It turned out to be really good! I'm sure we will be having this again.

2. Bring a few inches of water to boil in a pot with large steamer basket in place. Put the sweet potatoes in the basket, cover and steam unit tender, 20-25 minutes. We didn't have a steamer basket so we just boiled the potatoes and it worked just fine.

4. Spread the sweet potato mixture in the prepared baking dish.
