    • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
    • 2 eggs, lightly beaten
    • 1/4 cup melted unsalted butter
    • 1/3 cup milk

  • Butter Pecan Crumble Topping:
    • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
    • 1 cup packed light brown sugar

    • 1 cup chopped pecans

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven: Set to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Prepare the Sweet Potato Mixture: In a large bowl, combine the mashed sweet potatoes, sugar, eggs, melted butter, milk, and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth and creamy. Pour into a greased 9x13-inch baking dish.
  3. Make the Crumble Topping: In another bowl, combine flour, brown sugar, melted butter, and chopped pecans. Stir until crumbly and evenly mixed.
  4. Assemble the Casserole: Sprinkle the pecan crumble evenly over the sweet potato mixture.
  5. Bake: Place the casserole in the preheated oven and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the sweet potatoes are heated through.
  6. Serve Warm: Let it cool slightly before serving. Enjoy!

Notes

  • Make Ahead: You can prepare the sweet potato base and topping separately a day in advance. Store in the fridge and assemble before baking.
  • Optional Add-Ins: Add mini marshmallows or a hint of cinnamon to the sweet potatoes for a twist.
  • Storage: Leftovers can be refrigerated in an airtight container for up to 4 days.
