Servings 10 servings
Calories 399kcal
Ingredients
- 2 lbs sweet potatoes about 4 small/medium or 2 large
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 cup milk
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup light brown sugar
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 6 tablespoons butter cut into small cubes
- 1 cup pecans chopped
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375ºF.
- Scrub the sweet potatoes and pierce generously with a fork. Place on a baking sheet and bake until fork tender, 30-45 minutes. When they are cool enough to handle, scoop out the flesh into a large bowl.
- Raise the oven temperature to 400ºF.
- To the bowl with the sweet potatoes, add the sugar, milk, eggs, vanilla and salt. Mash until combined. The mixture does not need to be completely smooth - lumps are ok. Pour the potatoes into a large baking dish. (I use a 3 quart baking dish.)
- In another bowl, combine the brown sugar, flour and butter. Using a pastry cutter, cut the butter into the mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs. Stir in the pecans. Sprinkle the crumb mixture over the top of the potatoes.
- Bake in the oven until golden brown, 30-40 minutes. Let the casserole sit for a few minutes before serving.
