Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish and set aside.

Peel the sweet potatoes and cut them into large chunks. Place them in a large pot with enough water to cover them. Boil for 15-20 minutes or until the sweet potatoes are fork-tender, then drain.

In a separate bowl, prepare the topping. Combine the brown sugar, flour, chopped pecans, and softened butter. Mix with a fork until the mixture forms coarse crumbs.

Sprinkle the topping evenly over the sweet potato mixture.

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