#1 Sweet Potato Souffle

Submitted by Bella Rachelle

"The best sweet potato souffle I've ever ate. My mother-in-law gave me this recipe about 11 years ago. She had made it for a baby shower and while the games were going on I almost devoured the whole thing, LOL. Anyway, this is how we do it in our family, and not one Holiday, picnic, or family gathering goes without one."

4. Put in 9 x 13 pan & set aside.

5. For topping:

6. In the order listed above (**this is a very important step to always remember) add the ingredients one at a time in a medium pan on low heat.
7. Melt butter, add brown sugar, mix well (& at this point I usually turn the heat off), add flour, coconut & pecans.
8. Immediately pour over the sweet potatoes and put in oven.
9. Cook for 30-40 minutes, the souffle should not be jiggly in the middle, if so after 40 minutes add 5 minutes at a time until done. The topping should be golden.
