Mama's Famous Sweet Potato Pie

The be all end all of sweet potato pies.Thanksgiving wouldn't be the same without it.

• Ready In: 1 hr 20 mins
• Serves: 16
• Yields: 2 pies

Ingredients

• 2  cups mashed sweet potatoes
• 1  cup  melted butter
• 2  cups sugar
• 2 (12 ounce) cans evaporated milk
• 1⁄2 teaspoon salt
• 1  teaspoon cinnamon
• 1  teaspoon nutmeg
• 2  teaspoons vanilla
• 2  tablespoons lemon juice
• 4  egg yolks

Directions

1. Puree all ingredients in a blender.
2. I have to do this in 2 batches to fit all the ingredients.
3. Pour each batch into a large container with a pouring spout (I use a plastic juice pitcher).
4. Pour filling into a uncooked pie crust.(This recipe will make 2 deep dish pies).
5. Bake in a 350 degree oven that has been preheated for approximately 1 hour.
6. I cover the edges of the crust with foil to prevent over browning. I remove it after 30 minutes and rotate the pies so they cook evenly.
7. Allow to cool completely before slicing. Enjoy!
