Ingredients:
3 cups sweet potatoes
1⁄2 cup sugar
1⁄2 cup butter, softened
2 eggs, whisked
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1⁄3 cup milk (or heavy cream for a richer flavor)
Topping Ingredients:
1⁄3 cup melted butter
1 cup light brown sugar
1⁄2 cup all-purpose flour
1 cup coarsely chopped pecans
Steps:
Start by boiling your sweet potatoes until they are soft. Drain and mash them in a large mixing bowl.
Blend in sugar, butter, whisked eggs, vanilla, and milk (or heavy cream) until the mixture is smooth.
Transfer the sweet potato mixture to a 13×9 inch baking dish, spreading it evenly.
Prepare the Topping: melt butter and combine it with brown sugar, flour, and chopped pecans. This mixture should resemble a crumbly texture.
Evenly sprinkle the Topping over the sweet potato layer.
Bake in a preheated oven at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for about 25 minutes, or until the top is golden and bubbly.
Serve this casserole as a delightful side dish that might just steal the limelight. It’s a testament to how classic recipes can be elevated with just a few tweaks. Enjoy every bite!
