Pecan Topped Sweet Potatoes
Ingredients
  • 1 (40 ounce) can cut sweet potatoes, undrained
  • 3/4 cup white sugar, or more to taste
  • 1/3 cup unsalted butter, cut into pieces
  • 1/3 cup milk
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup chopped pecans
  • 3/4 cup packed brown sugar, or more to taste
  • 1/3 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/3 cup unsalted butter, melted
Instructions
1
Acquire all necessary ingredients and materials.
2
Preheat your oven to the optimal temperature of 350 degrees Fahrenheit (175 degrees Celsius). Grease a 2-quart baking dish with butter.
3
Prepare the potatoes: Place canned sweet potatoes and their accompanying liquid in a medium-sized saucepan, and bring to a rolling boil.
4
Immediately remove the saucepan from the heat source and drain off any excess liquid.
5
Transfer the cooked potatoes to a medium-sized bowl and use a fork or potato masher to break them down into a smooth consistency.
6
Combine the mashed potatoes with white sugar, butter, milk, eggs, and vanilla extract in a bowl, stirring until everything is well incorporated.
7
Spread the potato mixture evenly across the prepared baking dish.
8
Create a topping by mixing together pecans, brown sugar, flour, and melted butter in a separate bowl until you achieve a crumbly texture.
9
Sprinkle the topping over the sweet potato mixture in an even layer.
10
Place the casserole in the preheated oven and bake until the topping is golden brown, taking approximately 35 minutes to achieve this result.
