Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 large sweet potatoes, peeled and cubed
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 2 large eggs, beaten
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • For the Topping:
    • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
    • 1/2 cup brown sugar
    • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
    • 1 cup chopped pecans

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.
  • Boil sweet potatoes in a large pot until fork-tender, about 15-20 minutes. Drain and transfer to a large mixing bowl.
  • Mash the sweet potatoes until smooth. Mix in brown sugar, eggs, melted butter, milk, vanilla extract, and salt until well combined.
  • Pour the sweet potato mixture into the prepared baking dish and smooth the top.
  • In a separate bowl, mix flour, brown sugar, melted butter, and chopped pecans to create the streusel topping.
  • Sprinkle the streusel evenly over the sweet potato mixture.
  • Bake for 25-30 minutes or until the topping is golden and the casserole is heated through.
  • Let cool for 10 minutes before serving.

Notes

  • You can prepare the sweet potato mixture a day ahead and refrigerate, then add the topping and bake before serving.
  • To make this dish nut-free, replace pecans with an oat-based streusel.
