How to Make Sweet Potato Casserole For Thanksgiving

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Peel and thinly slice 3 large sweet potatoes (about 3 pounds total).
  3. Place sweet potato slices in a microwave-safe bowl.
  4. Add 5 tablespoons water.
  5. Cover and microwave on high until tender, about 8-10 minutes, stirring halfway through. (Alternatively, boil sweet potatoes until tender)
  6. Carefully remove from microwave; let stand, uncovered, for 5 minutes to allow steam to escape.
  7. Let cool for about 15 minutes.
  8. Transfer the cooked sweet potatoes to a large mixing bowl.
  9. Add 1 cup granulated sugar, 2 large eggs, 1/2 cup milk, and 1/2 cup (1 stick) melted butter. Beat at medium speed until smooth and creamy.
  10. Pour the sweet potato mixture into a lightly greased 12x8x2 inch baking dish.
  11. In a separate small bowl, combine 1/2 cup packed brown sugar, 1/2 cup chopped pecans, 1/4 cup all-purpose flour, and 2 teaspoons melted butter.
  12. Crumble the pecan mixture evenly over the sweet potato casserole.
  13. Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 30-35 minutes, or until golden brown and bubbly.
