Sweet Potato Casserole

The best new recipe from Thanksgiving dinner was brought by my SIL's SIL.  It was so DELICIOUS!  I felt like I was eating dessert with my dinner.  YUM!!!

1 40 oz can sweet potatoes, drained and mashed
1 cup sugar (she only used about ¾ cup)
1/2 cup milk
½ cup butter, melted
1 tsp vanilla
2 eggs, beaten
1 cup shredded coconut

Mix all ingredients in a large saucepan. Bring mixture to a boil, and then pour into a 2 quart greased dish.

Topping:

½ cup butter, melted
1 cup brown sugar
½ cup flour
1 cup chopped pecans

Mix all topping ingredients together and spread over the sweet potato mixture. Bake uncovered at 350 degrees for 25-30 minutes.
