Thanksgiving is just around the corner so I thought it would be fun for people to share their favorite recipes. I think this is the 3rd or 4th annual thread.

Take one and/or leave one. ;o)

You can fry leftover mashed potatoes by adding a little chopped onion, a little milk and make little patties and fry. They’re better than mashed potatoes.

My SIL makes this and it is delicious!

Bake sweet potatoes at 400° for about 1 hour or until tender. Let cool to touch; peel and mash sweet potatoes. Beat mashed sweet potatoes, sugar, and next 5 ingredients at medium speed with an electric mixer until smooth. Spoon potato mixture into a greased 11- x 7-inch baking dish.

If you don't particularly like the usual dessert-sweet sweet potato casserole recipes, here's one that you might like.

Glazed Sweet Potato Casserole

6 medium sweet potatoes (about 3 1/2 lbs)

1/4 cup firmly packed brown sugar

1/4 cup honey

1 tablespoon cornstarch

1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg

2 teaspoons grated orange rind

2 tablespoons butter

1/2 cup pineapple juice

1/4 cup chopped pecans

Cook sweet potatoes in boiling water to cover for 20 to 25 minutes or until fork-tender. Let cool to the touch; peel and cut into 1/2-inch round slices. Arrange the slices in a lightly greased 12x8x2 inch baking dish; set aside. Combine the remaining ingredients, except the pecans, in a saucepan. Mix well. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture begins to boil. Boil for 1 minute, stirring constantly, until the mixture is thickened and is bubbly. Pour over the sweet potatoes. Sprinkle with pecans. Cover and refrigerate 8 hours. Remove dish from refrigerator; let stand 30 minutes. Uncover and bake at 350 degrees for 30 minutes or until heated. Makes 8 servings.

I think I found this recipe in Southern Living magazine a number of years ago (probably 20 or more).

I haven't made this in a long time, I'd love to make it again but I'm the only sweet potato eater in my family!

Who said I died... he Lives!!

Don't know where you've been, but glad to see you back here. (And yeah, I wondered if you had died or something) You were missed.

[jellybean]

Smootch back at ya!

Hope all is well with you and the fam. I know Thanksgiving is your favorite day and bet your putting in late nights getting ready.

Thanks for telling me about the turtle pie. I don’t think I’ve seen it in the stores we frequent (Dollar General, Save A Lot). I’ll look closer next time we go to Walmart; or try Kroger and Food Lion. - I generally don’t care for any sort of meat in pies; but like the mincemeat ones, will have to get over the “turtle” thing. Have had turtle soup once when husband caught a big snapping turtle in our pond.

It is an Oreo cookie crust, chocolate mouse filling with caramel and pecans....TO DIE FOR!!!!
