Ingredients

• 4 large Sweet potatoes
• 1 cup Granulated sugar
• 1 cup Milk
• 2 Eggs
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 cup Unsalted butter, melted
• 1 cup Brown sugar
• 0.5 cup All-purpose flour
• 1 cup Pecans, chopped
• 0.25 cup Unsalted butter (for topping), softened

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a 2-quart baking dish.

Step 2

Peel the sweet potatoes and cut them into large chunks. Boil the potatoes in a large pot of water until very tender, about 20 minutes. Drain and mash the sweet potatoes in a mixing bowl until smooth.

Step 3

To the mashed sweet potatoes, add granulated sugar, milk, eggs, vanilla extract, salt, and the 1/2 cup of melted butter. Stir the mixture until fully combined and creamy.

Step 4

Pour the sweet potato mixture into the prepared baking dish and spread it out evenly.

Step 5

In a separate bowl, prepare the topping by combining brown sugar, flour, and chopped pecans. Mix well, then use a fork or your fingers to cut in the softened butter until the mixture is crumbly.

Step 6

Sprinkle the pecan topping evenly over the sweet potato mixture.

Step 7

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

Step 8

Remove the casserole from the oven, let it cool for 5 minutes, and serve warm.
