How to Make Pecan Topped Sweet Potato Casserole

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a large bowl, combine the cooked sweet potatoes, brown sugar, butter, eggs, vanilla extract, and salt. Mix until well combined and smooth.
  3. Pour the sweet potato mixture into a greased 2-quart casserole dish (or two 1-quart dishes).
  4. In a separate bowl, combine the pecans, flour, brown sugar, and melted butter. Mix until evenly coated.
  5. Sprinkle the pecan topping evenly over the sweet potato mixture.
  6. Bake for 30-40 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the casserole is heated through. If using two smaller dishes, reduce bake time as needed.
  7. Let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy!
