Ruth's Chris Sweet Potato Casserole





This Ruth’s Chris sweet potato casserole is a copycat of the restaurant version. It’s a layer of creamy sweet potatoes that’s topped with the most delicious brown sugar and pecan streusel. This sweet potato casserole is perfect for your holiday meals!

I love Ruth's Chris version and this one is just as good. It is more a dessert than a side dish, but its so good. If you have it for a dessert, add vanilla ice cream and its even a bigger hit!

  1. I always make this with golden raisins added into the mix and then topped with jumbo marshmallows sliced in half on top. It's ALWAYS a hit. And yes -- is definitely more of a dessert than anything else, especially with the marshmallows! Sure to induce a sugar high! LOL

  3. I make something similar, but I use brown sugar and butter. When it bakes up its like eating sweet potato pie, without crust. Very yummy.

Slow Cooker "Melt in Your Mouth" Pot Roast

This recipe has proven to produce thee best pot roast I've ever made.  Every component is pure perfection.  The meat is juicy and fall-apart tender.  The vegetables are cooked just right and are full of flavor.  The seasonings are simply spot on and the broth yields a fabulous gravy-like sauce that is divine when poured over everything prior to serving. We usually have leftovers of this, so we often make hash the following day.  The leftover roast is, also, fabulous utilized in a hot roast beef sandwich for lunch. Yields 4 - 6 servings.
