Ingredients

Sweet Potato Base:

  • 4 cups mashed sweet potatoes (about 4 large sweet potatoes, cooked and peeled)
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • ½ cup melted butter
  • 2 large eggs, beaten
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ½ cup milk

Pecan Topping:

  • 1 cup chopped pecans
  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • ⅓ cup all-purpose flour
  • ⅓ cup melted butter

Directions

  1. Preheat oven: Set oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
  2. Make the base: In a large bowl, combine mashed sweet potatoes, sugar, melted butter, eggs, vanilla, and milk. Mix until smooth and creamy.
  3. Spread mixture: Pour the sweet potato base evenly into the prepared baking dish.
  4. Prepare topping: In another bowl, mix pecans, brown sugar, flour, and melted butter until crumbly.
  5. Top and bake: Sprinkle the pecan mixture evenly over the sweet potato base. Bake for 30–35 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and crisp.
  6. Cool slightly: Let the casserole cool for a few minutes before serving warm. 🥄

💡 Tips & Variations

  • Make-ahead: Assemble the casserole the night before, refrigerate, and bake the next day.
  • Nut-free option: Replace pecans with a crunchy oat streusel topping.
  • Extra creamy: Add a splash of heavy cream or a tablespoon of cream cheese to the filling.
  • Serving idea: Pairs perfectly with roasted turkey, ham, or a Thanksgiving feast! 🍗🦃
