A warm and encouraging recipe for Sweet Potato Casserole with a crunchy pecan topping, perfect for holiday gatherings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 pounds sweet potatoes, peeled and cubed
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup milk
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • For the Topping:
  • 1 cup chopped pecans
  • 1/2 cup packed light brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Boil the cubed sweet potatoes until tender, about 15-20 minutes. Drain well.
  3. Mash the sweet potatoes in a large bowl until smooth.
  4. Add the softened butter, granulated sugar, milk, eggs, vanilla extract, and salt. Mix until well combined.
  5. Pour the sweet potato mixture into a greased 9×13 inch baking dish.
  6. In a separate bowl, combine the chopped pecans, brown sugar, and flour for the topping.
  7. Pour the melted butter over the topping mixture and stir until combined.
  8. Sprinkle the pecan topping evenly over the sweet potato mixture.
  9. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the casserole is heated through.
  10. Let it cool slightly before serving.

Notes

  • You can make the sweet potato mixture ahead of time and refrigerate it. Add the topping just before baking.
  • For an extra festive touch, add a pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg to the sweet potato mixture.
  • If you don’t have pecans, walnuts also work well for the topping.
