How to Make A Really Good Sweet Potato Recipe

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a large bowl, beat 2 large eggs until light and fluffy.
  3. Add 3 pounds cooked and mashed sweet potatoes to the eggs and stir until well combined.
  4. Stir in 1 cup milk, 1/2 cup brown sugar, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg, 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves, and 1/4 teaspoon salt.
  5. Pour sweet potato mixture into a greased 9x13 inch baking dish.
  6. **Prepare the topping:** In a medium bowl, combine 1/2 cup packed brown sugar, 1/2 cup all-purpose flour, 1/2 cup chopped pecans, and 1/2 cup (1 stick) cold unsalted butter, cut into small pieces.
  7. Use your fingers or a pastry blender to work the butter into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  8. Sprinkle the topping evenly over the sweet potato mixture.
  9. Bake for 60-75 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the casserole is heated through.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Small additions can make a big impact! Try a sprinkle of fresh herbs, a dash of your favorite spice blend, or a squeeze of citrus just before serving to really enhance the flavors of your dish.
