Candied Yams:
I went right for the canned yams with this one. My mom does it from sweet potatoes proper, but I'm just not at that level right now.
Large can of sweet potatoes / yams in syrup, drained
cup of mini marshmallows
2/3 cup of packed brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon of nutmeg
1 teaspoon of cinnamon
1 teaspoon of salt
2 tablespoons of melted butter
Mash the yams and melted butter together in a big bowl.
Add the sugar and spices, and 1/2 cup of marshmallows.
Spread in a casserole dish (I used a pie pan)
Spread the remaining marshmallows on top.
Bake for 20 minutes at 350, or until the top marshmallows are golden brown and puffy.
Green Bean Casserole:
I used real green beans for this, but I'm sure you could use canned.
Four to six cups of green beans (steamed)
can of cream of mushroom soup
1/2 cup of milk
salt and pepper
cup of French fried onions.
Mix green beans, milk and cream of mushroom soup in a big bowl. Add 1/2 cup onions and spices and stir well.
Pour into 8x8 casserole dish and spread the remaining onions on top.
Bake for 20 minutes at 350.
