For the casserole:
- 1 (29 oz) can sweet potatoes, drained
- ½ cup salted butter, melted
- ⅓ cup milk
- ¾ cup sugar

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.

- A marshmallow topping can be used instead of the pecan topping. Put the marshmallows on around the last 10 minutes of cooking.
