Ingredients
- 4 large sweet potatoes
- 0.5 cup granulated sugar
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter (melted)
- 0.5 cup whole milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 large eggs
- 0.33 cup all-purpose flour
- 0.33 cup brown sugar (packed)
- 0.5 cup pecans (chopped)

Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with butter or cooking spray.
Step 2
Peel the sweet potatoes and cut them into large chunks. Place them in a large pot, cover with water, and bring to a boil. Cook until tender, about 15-20 minutes. Drain and let the sweet potatoes cool slightly.
Step 3
In a large mixing bowl, mash the sweet potatoes until smooth. Add the granulated sugar, melted butter, milk, vanilla extract, and eggs. Mix until well combined.
Step 4
Pour the sweet potato mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly.
Step 5
In a medium bowl, prepare the topping by combining the flour, brown sugar, chopped pecans, and melted butter. Mix until crumbly.
Step 6
Sprinkle the pecan topping evenly over the sweet potato mixture.
Step 7
Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the casserole is heated through.
Step 8
Remove from the oven and let it cool slightly before serving. Enjoy!
