Ingredients
- 4 medium sweet potatoes
- 6 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 1 cup milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 2 large eggs
- 0.5 cup all-purpose flour
- 0.5 cup pecans (chopped)
- 0.25 cup granulated sugar
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish and set aside.
Step 2
Peel the sweet potatoes and cut them into chunks. Add them to a large pot of boiling water and cook until they are tender, about 15-20 minutes. Drain and let them cool slightly.
Step 3
In a large mixing bowl, mash the cooked sweet potatoes until smooth. Add 4 tablespoons of melted butter, brown sugar, milk, vanilla extract, cinnamon, salt, and eggs. Mix until well combined and smooth.
Step 4
Pour the sweet potato mixture into the prepared baking dish and smooth it out with a spatula.
Step 5
In a separate small bowl, prepare the streusel topping by mixing together the flour, chopped pecans, granulated sugar, and the remaining 2 tablespoons of melted butter. Stir until a crumbly texture forms.
Step 6
Evenly sprinkle the streusel topping over the sweet potato mixture in the baking dish.
Step 7
Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the casserole is heated through.
Step 8
Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy Shu Wen's Sweet Potato Casserole warm!
