How to Make Missy S Sweet Potato Casserole

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Peel and cube approximately 3 pounds of sweet potatoes. Boil until tender (about 15-20 minutes). Drain well and mash thoroughly.
  3. In a large bowl, combine the mashed sweet potatoes with 1 cup granulated sugar, 1/2 cup (1 stick) melted unsalted butter, 2 large eggs, 1/2 cup milk, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon. Mix until well combined.
  4. Spray a 9x13 inch baking dish with non-stick cooking spray. Pour the sweet potato mixture into the prepared dish.
  5. In a medium bowl, combine 1/2 cup all-purpose flour, 1/2 cup brown sugar, 1/4 cup chopped pecans or walnuts, 1/4 cup (1/2 stick) cold unsalted butter, cut into small pieces. Mix with your fingers or a pastry blender until crumbly.
  6. Sprinkle the crumble topping evenly over the sweet potato mixture.
  7. Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the casserole is golden brown and bubbly. Let cool slightly before serving.

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.
