Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 large sweet potatoes
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup milk
- 2 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.5 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 1 cup pecans
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x13-inch casserole dish.
Peel and cube the sweet potatoes. Place them in a large pot, cover with water, and boil until tender, about 15-20 minutes.
Drain the sweet potatoes and transfer them to a large mixing bowl. Mash until smooth.
Add 4 tablespoons of unsalted butter, granulated sugar, milk, eggs, vanilla extract, and salt to the sweet potatoes. Mix until well combined and smooth.
Pour the sweet potato mixture into the prepared casserole dish and spread evenly.
In a medium mixing bowl, combine flour, brown sugar, and pecans. Melt 4 tablespoons of unsalted butter and stir it into the dry ingredients until the mixture is crumbly.
Sprinkle the pecan topping evenly over the sweet potato mixture.
Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and crisp.
Remove from the oven and let cool for 5-10 minutes before serving. Enjoy!
