00:00I did not forget about sweet potato casserole.
00:02I'm keeping everything really easy
00:04and 100% in the slow cooker.
00:06So we're using canned sweet potatoes.
00:08Listen, and I'm okay with that.
00:10I am gonna drain off all the liquid though.
00:12What's good about these is they're also cooked super soft
00:15so they're easy to mash.
00:16Doing a combination of white and brown sugar.
00:18Going in with a little milk and a pinch of salt.
00:22Not in the recipe, but I like that to balance out the sweet.
00:24And then I'm doing a whole stick of melted butter.
00:26That all mixed together.
00:27This recipe also does a little splash of orange juice.
00:31Now we're gonna go in with a couple eggs.
00:34This goes into the slow cooker
00:35and then we'll make a little topping.
00:36Just chop up some pecans.
00:38We're making like a little streuseli pecan topping.
00:41More brown sugar, a little bit of flour.
00:43And then mix that up
00:44and then I'm gonna add in some melted butter.
00:46You just want everything to be slightly damp with the butter.
00:49You're not looking for this to be runny at all.
00:51And we're just gonna spread this over the top.
00:52This is just going to cook on high for three to four hours.
00:55But look at this.
00:56This looks like a sweet potato casserole to me.
01:00Smells amazing.
01:01You know, it was kind of runny when we poured it in,
01:03but the egg helped it to set up.
01:06It tastes like everything I know and love
01:08in a sweet potato casserole.
01:09If I did not know,
01:10I would not know that this started
01:11with canned sweet potatoes either.
01:12I thought I was gonna be able to tell the difference,
01:14but with that warm like buttery pecan topping,
01:17the brown sugar, what's not to love?
01:18So,
01:18it looks great.
