Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 medium-sized sweet potatoes
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 0.5 cup brown sugar
- 0.25 cup heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons bourbon
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup pecans, chopped
- 0.25 cup all-purpose flour
- 0.25 cup brown sugar (for topping)
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter (for topping)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish and set aside.
Peel the sweet potatoes and cut them into large chunks. Place them in a large pot and cover with water. Bring to a boil and cook until the potatoes are tender, about 15-20 minutes. Drain the potatoes and return them to the pot.
Mash the sweet potatoes until smooth. Add the butter, brown sugar, heavy cream, bourbon, vanilla extract, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. Mix until well combined and creamy.
Spread the sweet potato mixture evenly into the prepared baking dish.
In a small bowl, prepare the topping by combining the pecans, flour, and brown sugar. Cut in the butter using a fork or your hands until the mixture is crumbly.
Sprinkle the pecan mixture evenly over the sweet potato layer.
Bake the casserole in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and fragrant.
Remove from the oven and let cool for 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy your Drunken Sweet Potato Casserole!
