Bourbon Yams With Pecan Topping

"I have made this recipe for years, especially during the holidays. It has always been a hit. The pecan topping really makes the recipe. Everyone always, and I mean always asks for the recipe. Remember the last four ingredients are for the topping and not to be put into the dish."

  1. Freaking amazing! Mmmm.
     
  2. Very Good! The yams were surprisingly light. I made half the recipe using 3 large yams, 2 extra large eggs & lightly packed the brown sugar. Baked it in a 9X9 Pyrex dish. My husband & I ate 1/3 of it. It smell wonderful too. This is a good one, Rita.
