How to Make Sweet Potato Casserole
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Pierce 3 large sweet potatoes (about 2 pounds total) several times with a fork. Bake for 60-75 minutes, or until fork-tender.
- Let the sweet potatoes cool slightly, then peel and mash thoroughly.
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the mashed sweet potatoes, ¾ cup packed light brown sugar, ¼ cup (½ stick) melted unsalted butter, 2 large eggs, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and ½ cup milk. Mix until well combined.
- Pour the sweet potato mixture into a greased 2- or 3-quart baking dish.
- In a separate bowl, combine ½ cup pecan halves, ¼ cup all-purpose flour, ¼ cup packed light brown sugar, ¼ cup melted unsalted butter, and a pinch of ground cinnamon. Mix until crumbly.
- Sprinkle the pecan crumble topping evenly over the sweet potato mixture.
- Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the casserole is heated through.
