Betty's Pecan-Topped Sweet Potato Casserole Recipe

[bnpearson1]

Thanks for showing what it looks like! I was doubting if i cooked mines right! Thanks for the confirmation! You rock! God bless!

[playboy110580]

OMG you and your food are fine devine and right on time I wish I could kiss the cook lol

[KlilOurMoon]

deeem...the video begun 1 second and im already talkin about betty body?

[dvinb12345]

I'm almost sure that's a sweet potato. Yams are actually white (or so the internet says).

[bettyskitchen]

@dvinb12345 Yes, sweet potatoes and yams are two different entities!

--Betty :)

[jeanajaltouni]

so how much do u bench-press? =D

[bettyskitchen]

@jeanajaltouni I do the chest press on a machine, and I only do about 60 pounds on the machine in my circuit training.

[iLikeCookie88]

@paperflowers198 Well, of course it's about what you eat as well!

[Latentsee]

Betty is quite right and LawrenceKennard is quite wrong....see Wikipedia. Yams and Sweet Potatoes are TWO ENTIRELY DIFFERENT PLANT FAMILIES and come from entirely different parts of the world. In America we only eat sweet potatoes and USDA requires any can with the word yam on it to also have the word "sweet potato" because the product is not a yam.

[stephanie7099]

BETTY I WISH WE WERE NEIGHBORS CAUSE YOUR KITCHEN ROCKS I CAN ALWAYS GET IT RIGHT LOVE YOUR VIDEOS OH AND YOUR SHOULD DO SOME FASHION VIDEOS LOVE THE OUTFIT

[candywrapp]

the good thing about using yams is u dont have to bake or boil the sweet potatoes which saves a great amount of time.

[LawrenceKennard]

Great recipie, but all yams ARE sweet potatoes, but not all sweet potatoes. Sweet potatoes are a variety of yams.

[Sammy52277]

Thanx Betty. Looks delicious. Can't wait to try it this Thanksgiving.

[JennyJenn14]

Would you suggest adding cinnamon to the casserole if we wanted to, or would that be overload or interfere with the nutmeg?

[bettyskitchen]

@JennyJenn14 Cinnamon and nutmeg are great together. Yes, add the cinnamon!

--Betty :)

[troper001]

Great looking yams...

[itpaystobeme]

Betty that outfit is FIERCE!!!

[Jordans03]

My mom used to use Cookies instead of Pecans for the topping..

I just don't know what she did to them to make them have a glazey like look after it was baked, do you think you have an idea what is was?

[bettyskitchen]

@Jordans03 You can get that glaze on pie crusts, etc. by slightly whisking an egg, and then brushing the pie crust or cookies or whatever with it before baking.

This recipe was a total success at my Christmas table.  Merry Christmas from Lima, Peru

[bettyskitchen]

That's wonderful! Merry Christmas to you!

--Betty :)

[ashm95]

Hi Betty, I love your videos and I am cooking lots of your recipes tonight for dinner. I would like to add marshmellows to this casserole could you please give me some advice?

[bettyskitchen]

I would cut the amount of brown sugar in half, and add 1/2 cup miniature marshmallows to the brown sugar/pecan mixture. Place all of this mixture on top and bake as usual. Watch to make sure the marshmallows don't get too brown. If they start to get too brown, then just put some alumninum foil over the top until the dish is cooked through.

--Betty :)

[ashm95]

Thank you so muuch. I am half way through the process (just finished mashing the potatoes!). Merry Christmas to you , your husband and family.

[bettyskitchen]

Thanks! I hope you are having a wonderful Christmas Day!

--Betty :)

[XStitchX3]

Getting ready to try this for dinner tonight, thanks so much for the recipe, Betty! I really enjoy your videos and am looking forward to trying a few of your delicious dishes! Merry Christmas to you and your family :)

[bettyskitchen]

Hi! I think you will really like this recipe! Thanks for your compliment on my videos! Have a Very Merry Christmas!

--Betty :)

[Isitonmine]

Made this version and enjoyed every single bite!!  The best Thanksgiving dinner that I've had in a few years and your recipe was part of it. Thank you!

[bettyskitchen]

That's wonderful!  Thanks for your nice feedback!

--Betty :)

[CoasterChick22]

lol my mom has that dish and thats what she does at thanksgiving she puts the sweet potato casserole in it

[bettyskitchen]

I guess she must be close to my age! Believe it or not, it used to be trendy! Now, it's more like a collector's item. Sweet potatoes seem like the perfect food for that dish! Thanks for your sweet comment!

--Betty :)

[clabbergirls]

Betty, That looks so good! I am going to try it. Oh pretty bracelet as well.

[bettyskitchen]

Thanks for your lovely comment on the sweet potatoes--and on the bracelet!

--Betty :)

[Jacks942]

cant wait to try it this will be my first time cooking the big meal thanks for your recipe look foward to trying all you others

[bettyskitchen]

This will be a great addition to your meal! We love it! Thanks for your sweet comment!

--Betty :)

[bettyskitchen]

Thanks for your lovely comment! Yes, you can just use fresh sweet potatoes. It is some extra work, but the combination of flavors is wonderful! I hope you enjoy the recipe!

--betty :)

[skabibble]

This looks good Betty! What if you used fresh sweet potatos? Just cook them in water first and then proceed with recipe? Thanks:)

[bettyskitchen]

Fresh sweet potatoes would be great! When cooked, just use the same amount as the canned sweet potatoes! Thanks for the comment!

--Betty :)

[PointingTheWeigh]

I think this will become a firm favourite in my home!

We don't have Yams over here but we do have Sweet Potato....PHEW! I'm very pleased because I am looking forward to trying this out!

Thankyou

Love and hugs to you both x

[bettyskitchen]

Hi Linda!

I'm glad you can get sweet potatoes! They will taste the same as yams. I hope you enjoy the recipe!

Love from Kentucky,

--Betty :)

[dodge1997]

Sooo Glad I discovered your Great Cooking Video's Betty ! My wife died in a

car wreck a year ago, My mom in 1997 of Pancratic Cancer, My Grandmother long long ago, so.... all my favorite cooks are gone now . This video is of a dish that

besides Turkey, always made Thanksgiving feel like "Thanksgiving" to this now 54 yr old Southern boy and brings back such sweet memories and sweet tastes back into my life again and for that I can't thank you enough except to say thank you again.

[bettyskitchen]

Thanks for your sweet comment! I am trying to post of lot of the classic Thanksgiving dishes. I hope you enjoy them!

--Betty :)

[nicolandiax]

[axellable]

[bettyskitchen]

I am glad you enjoy my cooking!

--Betty :)

[dodge1997]

I am curious about a comment you made on this video. How LONG could you reasonably freeze this for and still eb good for consumption and HOW do you freeze it ? Plasctic zip lock bags, in aluminum foil, storage containers, etc ?

Thnx in advance.

[pinkbubbagum]

Betty, All these wonderful dishes you make how do you stay so thin? You have a pretty figure. And Love your recipes!

[bettyskitchen]

I take a bite of everything, but I do not eat large portions of anything. My main diet is fruits, vegetables, and tuna! Thanks for writing!

--Betty :)

[pandaprophetable]

betty where do you get those silicone heat pads? i've been looking all over for them!

[bettyskitchen]

My daughter bought them for me at a discount store called Gabriel Brothers. There is one in Lexington, KY, and one in Ciccinnati, OH, but those are all I know about--and their offerings come and go! Thanks for asking!

--Betty :)

[21faiza]

Betty pls show us ur daughter someday too if its possible for u n her.

[bettyskitchen]

I will be taking all of you on a field trip on Sunday. Chelsea will be coming along!

--Betty :)

[tickletumtandy]

Exactly what I was looking for. Thanks Betty! :)

[bettyskitchen]

That's great! Thanks for the lovely comment!

--Betty :)

[bettyskitchen]

Hi! Thanks so much for clarifying my position! It's not like I'm any different from anyone else. I just have my priorities, and at the top is looking and feeling well! My lifestyle is just a choice that is easy for me to live with. Thank you for explaining this to all! Thanks for being a faithful viewer, and have a wonderful day!

--Betty :)

[bettyskitchen]

A 5-star comment!!!!

--Betty :)

[JimmyMacJones]

Betty,

I love the way you crack the eggs on the table like that. Very impressive. This looks delicious. :-)

[bettyskitchen]

Hi Jimmy!  Yes, I'm an egg-cracker from way back! I know you don't do Thanksgiving, so I hope some of my uploads will not be tedious for you. I'm planning a cheese fries casserole soon that you may like, and then on Sunday I will be showing a trip on a dinner train. I hope you will enjoy some of those! Take care,

--Betty :)

[lexyota]

mmmmm...looks yummy!

[bettyskitchen]

Thanks! I hope you enjoy this recipe!

--Betty :)

[yuanmeng0502]

I like your camera man shaking his head, lol!!!

[bettyskitchen]

He loves to do things like that to see if it will rattle me! And, he was making a statement! Thanks for commenting!

--Betty :)

[deryler]

I mean I don't forceing you. Me :) Mine was no offense. Sorry for my bad english.

And I think when you eat 200g extra sugar per a week, you can't burn it wtih gym, cause this is physics and math. Belive me or calculate it. 4kg can be burn per a month(from fat) when I work out few hours every day. :S 200g sugar is about 800 calories, a 90kg-men can burn it at least with 3 hours work out.

[bettyskitchen]

I don't burn off all my extra calories at the gym--I just try to practice some restraint in choosing the foods and amounts that I eat! It will work for anyone--lots of fruits and vegetables and tuna, but go lighter on high calorie foods!

--Betty :)

[Patsymd]

I love that you are doing American Classics for the holidays. As far as people who sit at home and make commentary based on their own stewed juices.. well, there is no accounting for bad taste and breeding,as they used to say. Regardless, Betty, we love your videos and the view is free... so if you don't care for this, please leave the room quickly and quietly! :)

[bettyskitchen]

Hi Patsy! Yes, it's classics all the way! I have put 2 Playlists on my profile page--one for holiday dinner suggestions and the other for party recipes. I will be adding to both as the holidays approach! Thanks so much, Patsy, for the support you have given me, particularly in addressing the questionable nature of some of the comments on this video. I removed a few of them. I am cooking for people like you--not them. Thanks again for giving me encouragement and inspiration!

--Betty :)

[deryler]

...and how often. Yeah, I know that. And genetics is important too.. Actually we don't eat so many sugar, we eat preferably fat :D. Different countries, different traditions. :) No offense.

Btw the pecan contains the most calories.

G.

[bettyskitchen]

I do best by not denying myself anything; I just don't go wild eating anything that is sugary/fatty. If I want something that's unhealthy, I generally eat a large apple first, and then take a very small serving of cake, pie, candy, etc., but I don't miss out on anything!

--Betty :)

[f4reeksho]

Mmmm I love any recipie with pecans or sweetpotato/yam. :#

[bettyskitchen]

I do, too! Thanks for your lovely comment!

--Betty :)

[iTruffless]

great recipiee :D

[bettyskitchen]

Thanks so much! I really appreciate your comment!

--Betty :)

[lmdelsanto1]

Betty, you look lovely, and dont let anyone tell you different..I love your recipes and I would delete any negativity..thank you for the professionalism of your videos and the previlage of going into your home for your treasured recipes being made...You certainly are a star in my book, and I look forward to all your recipes for my family...hugs from rhode island...

[bettyskitchen]

Hi! Thanks so much for your encouraging comment! I did delete some of the comments that I thought were out of line or put my site in an unprofessinal light. I always appreciate people like you who lift me up! It gets a little hard to continue when people post distracting comments! But, those are few, compared to the viewers like you who inspire me daily! Thanks for being there!

a big hug from Kentucky,

Betty :)

[ladyluv1000]

great video !!!

[bettyskitchen]

Thanks! I appreciate your comment!

[philest25]

Hi Betty, You look Hot Today...and your Hair looks Great...thanks for the Recipes, RAQUEL

[bettyskitchen]

Hi Raquel!

Thanks for your sweet comment! You are welcome for the recipes!

--Betty :)

[Loarali1991]

I love your videos! though I made this recipe your way and than also I made it with cinnamon and almonds, it was great!

[bettyskitchen]

The cinnamon and almonds sound wonderful! I will try that next time! Thanks for the tip!

--Betty :)

[Loarali1991]

you're welcome! I hope it turns out great.

[LynnM3973]

We have this same recipe for sweet potatoes every Thanksgiving. You are right, they are very delicious.

[bettyskitchen]

It wouldn't be Thanksgiving to me without these delicious sweet potatoes! Too bad my husband doesn't eat sweet potatoes! (His loss!!!)

--Betty :)

[1298mancy]

how are you so skinny and good looking with the way you eat!?! lol! this dish looks very tasty betty! hoping to try it! =)

[deryler]

I don't think she eat this stuff...

[blinko656]

Funny. !!!!!!!!!!! Can you imagine what her frig looks like? lol

[bettyskitchen]

Truthfully, it looks normal! ????

--Betty :)

[bettyskitchen]

I always eat some of each recipe that gets uploaded--just not much!

--Betty :)

[bettyskitchen]

What paperflowers198 is saying is correct. It's not about what you eat, it's how much you eat! Also, I do work out 4 times a week, and I have followed this lifestyle all of my adult life.

--Betty :)

[1298mancy]

cool! either way you look beautiful betty!=) this recipe looks really good cant wait to try it! thaks for all the great tips! cant wait to see more vids!

[bettyskitchen]

Thanks for your sweet comment!

--Betty :)

[colram]

The idea to knot the ends of your blouse separately is great!

Perhaps you knot them together in your next upload?

Greetings from Germany

[bettyskitchen]

I hope you like my recent profile picture,

--Betty  :)

[towandfish]

Wow! That looks good!

That's great! I hope you really enjoy this recipe!

--Betty :)

[rockybarragan]

[bettyskitchen]

Thanks...and thanks!

--Betty  :)

[MascaraMania]

I'm adding this to my menu for the holidays for sure. Thanks for sharing!

Of course you can't eat this stuff very often...you wouldn't look as awesome as you do=)

I would love to see videos on how you store things in the freezer for later use. You speak on it often and I have no clue where to start.

[bettyskitchen]

Thanks for your comment and for your compliment on my looks! You're right, I don't eat much at any one time--I freeze a lot of dishes for later. I don't have a particular scheme for storing things in the freezer. I just place food in an appropriate container (or wrap it in aluminum foil, and stick it in the freezer. I can usually remember where I put everything!

--Betty :)

[SkoooBeeDooBop]

betty, i know there not very healthy, but if you could do a cinnamon roll recipe i would love it. maybe you could put almondsor something. :) if you can't i understand. thanks for all your videos :D

[bettyskitchen]

I might be able to get to it after the holidays. I have a very long request list, plus the holidays, and we do field trips occasionally. I will try!

--Betty :)

[TheGabrielleMarquez]

Another great recipe, and you look beautiful today Betty!

[bettyskitchen]

Thanks for such a lovely comment! You are very sweet!

--Betty :)

[PlanetJill]

I absolutely loved seeing your Classic Corningwear cassarole dish! Talk about bringing back memories. Do they even still make that design??

Jill,

Oregon

[bettyskitchen]

My husband gave me the Corningwear set as a gift right before we got married--40 years ago. I have teased him over the years about the "cheap" gift, but I appreciate it a little more, now. I don't think they make this design any more! Thanks for noticing!

--Betty :)

[richellebweber]

betty.... thanks im gonna try it!

[bettyskitchen]

That's great! I hope you enjoy the recipe!
