Pecan Topped Sweet Potato Bake
Ingredients
  • 4 sweet potatoes, cut into chunks
  • 1 1/3 cups white sugar
  • 3/4 cup milk
  • 3 eggs, beaten
  • 3/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 1/2 cups brown sugar
  • 1 1/2 cups chopped pecans
  • 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup margarine, melted
Instructions
1
First, preheat your oven to the desired temperature of 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). This will ensure that it reaches the optimal heat for baking.
2
Next, take a 9x13-inch baking dish and grease it thoroughly to prevent any food from sticking to the surface.
3
To begin preparing the sweet potatoes, submerge them in water within a large pot. Bring the water to a rolling boil before reducing the heat to a lower medium setting and letting it simmer for approximately 20 minutes, or until they are tender.
4
Once the sweet potatoes have finished cooking, drain them and transfer them to a large bowl for mashing.
5
Mash the cooked sweet potatoes with white sugar, milk, eggs, salt, vanilla extract, and cinnamon until you achieve your desired consistency.
6
Then, spread the mashed potato mixture evenly across a prepared 9x13-inch baking dish.
7
In another bowl, combine brown sugar, pecans, and flour to create a mixture. Pour margarine over the pecan mixture and mix until it resembles coarse crumbs.
8
Finally, sprinkle the pecan mixture over the potato mixture in the baking dish and bake in a preheated oven until the pecan topping is hard, approximately 1 hour.
