I'm sure that most of you have a recipe similar to this, but for those who don't.....I hated yams growing up. We only ever had them at Thanksgiving, and I couldn't figure out why in the world they were a once a year "treat". I thought they were nasty. Of course, we had the canned kind with marshmallows on top. But, in the last few years, my sister has been making this yummy concoction, and once again, it has been proven that fresh is better. These yams are so good that last year my husband actually said he would refuse to go to Thanksgiving dinner if these yams weren't on the menu. So thanks, sis, for bringing the fam together!
6 c. cooked yams, mashed (3-4 depending on size)
1 1/2 c. sugar

1 c. brown sugar
1/3 c. flour
1/3 c. butter
1 c. chopped pecans
Mix together until crumbly and sprinkle over potatoes.
Cook at 350 degrees for 30 minutes.
