Ingredients

• 4 large sweet potatoes
• 6 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 0.5 cup brown sugar
• 0.5 cup milk
• 2 large eggs
• 2 tablespoons molasses
• 1 teaspoon ground ginger
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 0.5 teaspoon ground nutmeg
• 0.25 teaspoon ground cloves
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 cup all-purpose flour
• 0.5 cup pecans
• 0.25 cup brown sugar (for topping)
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter (melted, for topping)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

Peel the sweet potatoes and chop them into chunks. Place them in a large pot of water and boil until tender, about 15 minutes.

Step 3

Drain the sweet potatoes and transfer them to a large mixing bowl. Mash until smooth.

Step 4

Add in 6 tablespoons of unsalted butter, 1/2 cup of brown sugar, milk, eggs, molasses, ground ginger, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, ground cloves, and salt. Mix until well combined.

Step 5

Spread the sweet potato mixture evenly into a greased 9x13-inch baking dish.

Step 6

In a separate small bowl, prepare the topping by combining the all-purpose flour, chopped pecans, 1/4 cup of brown sugar, and melted butter. Mix until crumbly.

Step 7

Sprinkle the topping evenly over the sweet potato mixture in the baking dish.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the casserole is heated through.

Step 9

Let the casserole rest for a few minutes before serving warm.
