Ingredients
- 4 large sweet potatoes
- 0.5 cup granulated sugar
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 0.5 cup milk
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.5 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 cup all-purpose flour
- 0.5 cup brown sugar, packed
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, cold and cubed
- 0.75 cup pecans, chopped
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish and set it aside.
Step 2
Peel and dice the sweet potatoes into large chunks. Place them in a pot and cover with water. Bring to a boil and cook until the potatoes are tender, about 15-20 minutes.
Step 3
Drain the sweet potatoes and transfer them to a large mixing bowl. Mash them until smooth.
Step 4
Add the granulated sugar, melted butter, milk, eggs, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and salt to the mashed sweet potatoes. Mix until well combined and smooth.
Step 5
Spread the sweet potato mixture evenly into the prepared baking dish.
Step 6
In a separate bowl, combine the flour, brown sugar, and cold, cubed butter. Use a pastry cutter or your fingers to mix until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Stir in the chopped pecans.
Step 7
Sprinkle the pecan mixture evenly over the sweet potato layer in the baking dish.
Step 8
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the casserole is heated through.
Step 9
Remove from the oven and let it cool for 5-10 minutes before serving.
