Ingredients

• For the topping:
• Serves: 8 as a side
• For the sweet potatoes;
• 3 cups (1 29-ounce can) sweet potatoes, drained
• 1/2 cup melted butter
• 1/3 cup milk
• 3/4 cup sugar
• 1 teaspoon vanilla
• 2 beaten eggs
• salt to taste
• 5 tablespoons melted butter
• 2/3 cup brown sugar
• 2/3 cup flour
• 1 cup pecan pieces

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Mash the sweet potatoes and add the melted butter, milk, sugar, vanilla, beaten eggs, and a pinch of salt. Stir until incorporated. Pour into a shallow baking dish or a cast iron skillet.

Combine the butter, brown sugar, flour, and pecan pieces in a small bowl, using your fingers to create moist crumbs. Sprinkle generously over the casserole. Bake for 25-35 minutes, until the edges pull away from the sides of the pan and the top is golden brown. Let stand for the mixture to cool and solidify a little bit before serving.
