Tropical Sweet Potato Casserole
Ingredients
  • 1 (8 ounce) can crushed pineapple, drained
  • 1/2 (14 ounce) bag flaked coconut, or more to taste
  • 3 cups cooked mashed sweet potatoes
  • 1 cup white sugar
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/3 cup milk
  • 1/2 cup butter, melted
  • 1/3 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup firmly packed brown sugar
  • 1/3 cup butter, melted
  • 1 cup finely chopped pecans
Instructions
1
Preheat your oven to the desired temperature of 350 degrees Fahrenheit, or equivalently, 175 degrees Celsius.
2
Next, take a moment to prepare your baking dish by coating it with a thin layer of grease. This will ensure that the casserole releases easily once it's baked.
3
In a large mixing bowl, combine and blend the pineapple, coconut, sweet potatoes, white sugar, eggs, vanilla extract, milk, and 1/2 cup of melted butter until you achieve a smooth consistency.
4
Pour the resulting mixture into your prepared baking dish and set it aside for the time being.
5
Meanwhile, in a separate bowl, combine the flour, brown sugar, 1/3 cup of butter, and pecans.
6
Finally, sprinkle the mixture over the batter in your baking dish, creating a visually appealing layering effect.
7
Bake the casserole in your preheated oven until it reaches a state of bubbling and the topping is nicely browned, taking approximately 30 minutes to achieve this result.
