Sweet potatoes are one of my very favorite veggies!
This recipe turns them into a very decadent breakfast item or dessert–you can’t go wrong!
My work buddies said it tasted just like Thanksgiving 🙂
Putting it all together:
Take the 1 package of crescent rolls and mush them together in the bottom of your 9 x 13 pan..
you will not have to spray it with nonstick spray because the crescent rolls will be greasy enough…for lack of a better explanation!
Mix the potatoes, butter, vanilla, egg and flavoring and spread over the crescent layer…
You will want to eat this mixture right out of the bowl…I promise…
Now pour on the marshmallows and cut up cream cheese….
Then sprinkle on the pecans…
though next time, I think I will save the pecans to sprinkle on the top instead…
On your cutting board, mush together the next roll of crescents to form a top crust…
it will not look perfect or even pretty…but that’s ok!
Bake on 350 degrees for 30 minutes…
It will be beautiful and brown like this!
Make the glaze…
Brush it all over…
Just like this!
It was soooo good!
Hope you enjoy!
