Ingredients

• 4 large sweet potatoes
• 0.75 cup granulated sugar
• 0.5 cup unsalted butter
• 0.5 cup milk
• 2 large eggs
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.75 cup brown sugar
• 0.5 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 cup pecans
• 0.25 cup unsalted butter

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a 9x13 inch baking dish.

Step 2

Peel and cube the sweet potatoes. Place them in a large pot, cover with water, and bring to a boil. Cook until tender, about 15-20 minutes. Drain and mash the sweet potatoes in the pot.

Step 3

Add the granulated sugar, 0.5 cup of melted butter, milk, eggs, vanilla extract, and salt to the mashed sweet potatoes. Mix well until smooth and fully combined.

Step 4

Pour the sweet potato mixture into the prepared baking dish and spread it out in an even layer.

Step 5

In a medium bowl, prepare the topping by mixing the brown sugar, flour, and chopped pecans together. Stir in 0.25 cup of melted butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

Step 6

Sprinkle the topping mixture evenly over the sweet potato layer.

Step 7

Bake the casserole in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the casserole is heated through.

Step 8

Let the casserole cool slightly before serving. Enjoy Missy's Sweet Potato Casserole warm as a side dish or dessert!
