A delightful twist on the classic sweet potato casserole, perfect for any festive occasion.
Peel and cut the sweet potatoes into chunks, then boil them in a pot of water until tender.
Ensure the sweet potatoes are evenly cut to cook uniformly.
Drain the sweet potatoes and mash them until smooth.
Use a potato masher or a fork for a rustic texture.
In a mixing bowl, combine the mashed sweet potatoes with sugar, butter, eggs, vanilla extract, and milk. Mix until well blended.
Mix thoroughly to ensure the ingredients are evenly incorporated.
Transfer the sweet potato mixture into a greased baking dish, spreading it evenly.
Use a spatula to smooth the top for an even layer.
In a separate bowl, mix the brown sugar, flour, chopped pecans, and melted butter to create the topping.
Ensure the topping mixture is crumbly and well combined.
Sprinkle the topping evenly over the sweet potato mixture.
Distribute the topping evenly for a consistent crunch.
Bake the casserole in a preheated oven at 350°F for 25 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown.
Check the casserole halfway through to ensure even baking.
Allow the casserole to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy!
Letting it cool enhances the flavors and makes serving easier.
