Phil's Sweet Potato Casserole

1 large can sweet potatoes
1/2 cup milk
1/2 cup margarine
1 cup sugar
1 cup coconut
2 eggs
1 tsp vanilla

TOPPING

1 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup margarine
1/2 cup flour
1/2 cup pecan halves
Dash salt
  1. Mix all main ingredients together in one bowl and the topping in another bowl.
  2. Place main ingredients in a 13x9 baking dish or pan.
  3. Place topping over the main ingredients
  4. Bake in Oven at 350 degrees for 35 – 40 minutes until the topping becomes crusty.

Optional: Add a bag of mini-marshmallows over the topping to create more of a dessert than a side dish to your entrée. You can also broil the dish for a few minutes to slightly brown the marshmallows on the top – but be very careful not to burn the marshmallows.
