Sweet Potato Casserole

We had this at dinner group a couple of months ago. It was delicious!

3 Cups Yams, Cooked and Mashed
1/4 Cup Butter
1/2 Cup Evaporated Milk
2 Eggs
1/3 Cup Sugar
1/2 Teaspoon Cinnamon
1/2 Teaspoon Nutmeg
1 Teaspoon Vanilla

Mix together and put in a casserole dish. Bake at 400 degrees for 15 minutes. Put topping on and bake for 10-15 minutes more.

Topping:
1 Cup Corn Flakes, Crushed
1/2 Cube Butter, Melted
1/2 Cup Brown Sugar

Mix and spread on top of casserole.

Corn Chowder

4-5 Slices Bacon
1 Onion, Chopped
2 Tablespoons Green Pepper, Chopped
4 Green Onions, Chopped
2 Tablespoons Flour
2 Teaspoons Salt
1/8 Teaspoon Pepper
4 Medium Potatoes, Peeled and Cut in Cubes
4-5 Cups Frozen or Canned Corn, Drained
1 Can Evaporated Milk
1 Teaspoon Sugar
Butter
1 Quart Milk

Cut the bacon into bite-size pieces. In a saucepan saute bacon. Once the bacon is cooked, add onion, green pepper, green onions, potatoes, and 1 cup water. Bring to a boil. Then cover and simmer 5-10 minutes until potatoes are tender. Remove from heat and set aside.

In another pan add corn, canned milk, sugar, and one lump of butter. Simmer for 10 minutes. (I did this step while I was doing the above step and so they finished at the same time.)

Once the time is up, add the corn mixture and the potatoe mixture together so they are in the same pot.

In a skillet melt 2 tablespoons butter. Add flour, salt, and pepper to make a rue. Then add just a little of the milk (of the 1 quart) to the flour mixture and stir until you get the lumps out. Pour into the saucepan that has the corn and potatoes in. Then add the rest of the milk. Cook until the mixture slightly thickens. You may need to cook a little longer as my potatoes weren't quite done.
