Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish and set it aside.
Peel the sweet potatoes and cut them into large chunks. Place the chunks into a large pot and cover them with water. Bring the water to a boil and cook the sweet potatoes for 15-20 minutes, or until they are fork-tender.
Drain the sweet potatoes and transfer them to a large mixing bowl. Mash the sweet potatoes until smooth using a potato masher or hand mixer.
Add 6 tablespoons of unsalted butter, milk, brown sugar, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and salt to the mashed sweet potatoes. Mix until fully combined and smooth.
Beat the eggs in a small bowl and add them to the sweet potato mixture, stirring until well incorporated.
Spread the sweet potato mixture evenly into the prepared baking dish.
To make the topping, combine the all-purpose flour, chopped pecans, granulated sugar, and melted butter in a medium bowl. Mix until the mixture forms a crumbly texture.
Sprinkle the topping evenly over the sweet potato mixture in the baking dish.
Bake the casserole in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the casserole is heated through.
Allow the casserole to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy your Sweet Potato Casserole III!
