Ingredients
- 4 large sweet potatoes
- 8 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 0.5 cup granulated sugar
- 0.5 cup milk
- 2 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 cup brown sugar
- 0.3 cup all-purpose flour
- 0.5 cup chopped pecans
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x13-inch casserole dish and set it aside.
Step 2
Peel and dice the sweet potatoes into chunks. Bring a large pot of water to a boil, add the sweet potatoes, and cook until they are fork-tender, about 15 minutes.
Step 3
Drain the cooked sweet potatoes and return them to the pot. Add 4 tablespoons of butter, granulated sugar, milk, eggs, vanilla extract, and salt. Mash everything together until smooth and well combined.
Step 4
Transfer the mashed sweet potatoes to the prepared baking dish, spreading them evenly.
Step 5
In a medium bowl, prepare the topping by mixing the brown sugar, flour, and chopped pecans. Melt the remaining 4 tablespoons of butter and stir it into the mixture until it forms a crumbly texture.
Step 6
Sprinkle the topping evenly over the sweet potato layer in the casserole dish.
Step 7
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and bubbly.
Step 8
Remove from the oven and let it cool slightly before serving. Enjoy!
