Forgot the Sweet Potato Pie?

Everything is planned for the Thanksgiving feast - the turkey is getting stuffed, the green beaan casserole is ready to go, the rolls are ready, the mashed potatoes are ready, and "Oh, no!  I forgot to make the sweet potato pie!"   If that's the case for you, I have a simple solution!  Well, even if you didn't foget to make it, this is still a good dessert to use anytime.

Ingredients:

• 5 Cups of grated sweet potatoes, raw (you can use a food processor)
• 1/4 Cup of sugar
• 3/4 Cup of brown sugar
• 1/2 Cup of all-purpose flour
• 1/4 Cup of corn meal
• 1/2 teaspoon of salt
• 1/2 teaspoon of pumpkin pie spice
• 1/2 Cup of dark corn syrup
• 2 Cups of milk
• 1/4 teaspoon of vanilla extract
• 2 Tablespoons of butter, melted
• 4 eggs, beaten

Directions: In a large bowl, combine the dry ingredients.  Bring all the wet ingredients to room temperature.  Add the wet ingredients to the dry.  Stir in the grated sweet potatoes.

Pour into a lightly greased baking dish or casserole.  Bake at 350 degrees F. for 1 1/2 hours.  Remove from the oven and stir completely. Put it back into the oven and bake about another half hour.

This can be served warm or cold.

If you don't want to use this as a dessert, it makes a good substitute for that sweet potato side-dish!
