AUNT BEN’S PECAN-TOPPED SWEET POTATOES
I got this recipe from Aunt Ben after she fixed it for Thanksgiving one year.  She said it is similar
to the one in “Pinch of Salt Lake”.  This is a very rich recipe.  I usually double or triple the amount
of yams and keep the other ingredients portions the same – and it tastes great.  It’s all up to you! -Spex

• 3 eggs, well beaten
• 1/2 C cream

Mix well with beater until smooth and pour into casserole dish.

Topping:
