Step 1

Preheat oven to 350 F. Grease a 9×13 inch baking dish. In a large bowl, mix together mashed sweet potatoes, melted butter, milk, sugar, vanilla extract, and eggs. Spread sweet potato mixture into the prepared baking dish. In a small bowl, mix together brown sugar and flour. Cut in cold butter until mixture is crumbly, then stir in pecans.
