';Can't go without'; side dish recipes for Christmas?

I'm looking for a new or an old classic recipe to try for the holidays.';Can't go without'; side dish recipes for Christmas?
This is an awesome recipe for ';Triple Corn Spoon Bread';. Everyone raves when I make it and it's really, really easy. I skip the mixing bowl and mix everything together in the baking dish.





Fyi......I use regular sour cream instead of the fat free. Sometimes I add chopped jalepenos for a little kick.

Sweet Potato Casserole





40 oz can of cut sweet potatoes in light syrup (about 3-4 cups when mashed)


1/2 cup brown sugar


1/2 tsp salt


1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted


1/3 cup milk


2 eggs


1/2 tsp vanilla








Topping:


1/2 cup flour


1 cup brown sugar


1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted


1 cup chopped pecans





Drain the sweet potatoes and mash with 1/2 cup brown sugar and 1/2 tsp salt in a very large bowl. You can use a potato masher or a hand mixer - you want them to be smooth.





In another bowl, beat the eggs, 1/2 cup melted butter, vanilla, and milk. Pour into sweet potatoes and mix well. Put potato mixture into a greased 9x13 baking dish.





In another bowl, mix the 1/2 cup flour, 1 cup brown sugar, and 1/2 cup melted butter. It should make a crumbly, streusel-like topping. Drop spoonfuls all over the top of the potatoes. Sprinkle the pecans on top.





Bake at 350 degrees until hot - about 30-45 minutes.





EDIT: Since you aren't concerned about dieting... this is a great recipe, too. It is a great twist on the typical corn casserole.
