Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large sweet potatoes
- 0.5 cup granulated sugar
- 0.25 cup milk
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter (melted)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 large eggs
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 cup all-purpose flour
- 0.5 cup brown sugar (packed)
- 0.5 cup pecans (chopped)
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter (softened)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.
Peel the sweet potatoes and cut them into chunks. Place them in a large pot of water and bring to a boil. Cook for 15-20 minutes, or until the sweet potatoes are fork-tender.
Drain the water and place the cooked sweet potatoes into a large mixing bowl. Mash the sweet potatoes until smooth using a potato masher or electric mixer.
Add the granulated sugar, milk, melted butter, vanilla extract, eggs, and salt to the mashed sweet potatoes. Mix well until the mixture is fully combined and smooth.
Pour the sweet potato mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it out into an even layer.
In a separate medium bowl, make the topping by combining the flour, brown sugar, chopped pecans, and softened butter. Use a fork or your hands to mix until the topping resembles coarse crumbs.
Sprinkle the topping evenly over the sweet potato mixture in the baking dish.
Bake the casserole in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the casserole is heated through.
Remove the casserole from the oven and let it sit for 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy!
