Casserole Christmas

I am one of those non-traditional people for meals at Christmas. I do not bake a ham, or truss a turkey. We do all that at Thanksgiving and to be honest, it is so much work, I just do not want to do it at Christmas.

So we usually end up with a smorgasbord of casseroles. Yum!

Here is one of my favorites and from my mother's Favorites cookbook dated from 1978.

"Nutty Buddy" Sweet Potato Casserole

2 1/2 C. sweet potatoes, boiled and mashed
1 c. sugar
1 egg, beaten
1 c. milk

1/2 c. flour
1 c. brown sugar
1/2 tsp. cinnamon
