Description
A cozy, buttery Sweet Potato Casserole with the perfect balance of flavors and a crunchy topping that everyone will love.
Ingredients
- Sweet potatoes (about 4 large or 5 medium, roughly 4 pounds)
- Butter (6 tablespoons, melted)
- Brown sugar (1/2 cup, packed, plus a little for topping if desired)
- Milk (1/3 cup, whole milk is best)
- Eggs (2 large)
- Vanilla extract (2 teaspoons)
- Cinnamon (1 teaspoon)
- Salt (1/2 teaspoon)
- Pecans (1 cup, chopped, optional)
- Flour (1/3 cup, for the crumb topping)
- More butter (4 tablespoons, softened, for the topping)
Instructions
- Cook the sweet potatoes by baking them at 400°F for 45 to 60 minutes or boiling until tender and draining well.
- Make the filling by peeling the baked sweet potatoes and mashing them. Mix in melted butter, brown sugar, milk, eggs, vanilla, cinnamon, and salt. Pour into a buttered 9×13 baking dish.
- Mix the topping by combining chopped pecans, flour, brown sugar, and softened butter until crumbly. Sprinkle on top of the filling.
- Bake at 350°F for 25 to 35 minutes until the edges look set and the topping is golden. Let rest for 10 minutes before serving.
Notes
Choose orange-fleshed sweet potatoes for the best texture and flavor. Resting before serving helps with slicing.
