Ingredients

For the casserole:

  • 1 (29 oz) can sweet potatoes, drained
  • ½ cup salted butter, melted
  • ⅓ cup milk
  • ¾ cup sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 large eggs, beaten

For the topping:

  • 5 tablespoons salted butter, melted
  • ⅔ cup brown sugar
  • ⅔ cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup chopped pecans

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350F degrees. In a large bowl, mash the sweet potatoes and stir in melted butter, milk, sugar, vanilla extract and beaten eggs. Stir until combined well.
  • Pour sweet potato mixture into a 2-quart (8-inch square) baking dish.
  • In a bowl, combine the melted butter, brown sugar, flour and chopped pecans. Use a fork or your fingers until mixture becomes small crumbles.
  • Sprinkle crumbles over sweet potato mixture.
  • Bake uncovered for 30-40 minutes until topping is golden brown. Let casserole cool for at least 15-20 minutes before serving. This is important as the casserole will set-up as it cools.

Notes

  • Three small fresh sweet potatoes (peeled, diced and boiled) can be used instead of the canned sweet potatoes.
  • A marshmallow topping can be used instead of the pecan topping. Put the marshmallows on around the last 10 minutes of cooking.
