Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large sweet potatoes
- 6 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 0.75 cups brown sugar
- 0.5 cups milk
- 1 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 2 large eggs
- 0.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cups pecans
- 0.5 cups granulated sugar
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter (for topping)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a 9x13-inch casserole dish.
Peel and cube the sweet potatoes, then place them in a large pot. Fill the pot with water, ensuring the potatoes are fully submerged, and bring to a boil.
Cook the sweet potatoes for 15-20 minutes or until they’re fork-tender. Drain and transfer them to a large mixing bowl.
Mash the sweet potatoes with a potato masher or an electric mixer until smooth.
Add 6 tablespoons of butter, 3/4 cup of brown sugar, 1/2 cup of milk, 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract, 1 teaspoon of cinnamon, 1/2 teaspoon of salt, and 2 eggs to the mashed potatoes. Mix until well combined and creamy.
Spoon the sweet potato mixture into the prepared casserole dish and smooth the top with a spatula.
In a separate bowl, combine 1/2 cup of flour, 1 cup of chopped pecans, 1/2 cup of granulated sugar, and 3 tablespoons of melted butter. Stir until the mixture forms a crumbly topping.
Sprinkle the pecan topping evenly over the sweet potato mixture in the casserole dish.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and crisp.
Remove the casserole from the oven and allow it to cool for 5-10 minutes before serving.
