Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large sweet potatoes
- 0.5 cup granulated sugar
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 0.5 cup whole milk
- 2 whole large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 cup brown sugar, packed
- 0.33 cup all-purpose flour
- 0.5 cup pecans, chopped
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°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 with enough water to cover them. Boil for 15-20 minutes or until the sweet potatoes are fork-tender, then drain.
Mash the sweet potatoes in a large bowl until smooth. Add the granulated sugar, melted butter, milk, eggs, vanilla extract, and salt. Mix until well combined and creamy.
Pour the sweet potato mixture into the prepared baking dish and spread it out evenly.
In a separate bowl, prepare the topping. Combine the brown sugar, flour, chopped pecans, and softened butter. Mix with a fork until the mixture forms coarse crumbs.
Sprinkle the topping evenly over the sweet potato mixture.
Bake the casserole in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the edges are bubbling.
Remove the casserole from the oven and allow it to cool for a few minutes before serving.
Serve warm and enjoy this flavorful, indulgent sweet potato casserole!
