Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large sweet potatoes
- 0.5 cup granulated sugar
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 0.5 cup milk
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.5 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 cup all-purpose flour
- 0.5 cup brown sugar, packed
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, cold and cubed
- 0.75 cup pecans, chopped
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish and set it aside.
Peel and dice the sweet potatoes into large chunks. Place them in a pot and cover with water. Bring to a boil and cook until the potatoes are tender, about 15-20 minutes.
Drain the sweet potatoes and transfer them to a large mixing bowl. Mash them until smooth.
Add the granulated sugar, melted butter, milk, eggs, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and salt to the mashed sweet potatoes. Mix until well combined and smooth.
Spread the sweet potato mixture evenly into the prepared baking dish.
In a separate bowl, combine the flour, brown sugar, and cold, cubed butter. Use a pastry cutter or your fingers to mix until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Stir in the chopped pecans.
Sprinkle the pecan mixture evenly over the sweet potato layer in the baking dish.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the casserole is heated through.
Remove from the oven and let it cool for 5-10 minutes before serving.
