Ingredients
- 4 cups sweet potatoes, peeled and cubed
- 3 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 cup milk
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 eggs, beaten
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup pecans, chopped
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x13-inch casserole dish.
Step 2
Place the peeled and cubed sweet potatoes in a large pot of water. Bring to a boil and cook until tender, about 15 minutes. Drain well.
Step 3
In a large mixing bowl, mash the cooked sweet potatoes until smooth. Mix in the granulated sugar, milk, melted butter, vanilla extract, and beaten eggs until fully combined.
Step 4
Transfer the sweet potato mixture to the prepared casserole dish, spreading it evenly.
Step 5
In a separate mixing bowl, combine the brown sugar, flour, chopped pecans, and softened butter. Use a fork or your hands to mix until the mixture becomes 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 bubbling slightly at the edges.
Step 8
Remove from the oven, let cool for a few minutes, and serve warm. Enjoy!
