Best Sweet Potato Casserole Recipe

Ingredients

• 1 (40 ounce) can cut sweet potatoes, undrained
• 0.75 cup white sugar, or more to taste
• 0.33 cup unsalted butter, cut into pieces
• 0.33 cup milk
• 2 large eggs
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 cup chopped pecans
• 0.75 cup packed brown sugar, or more to taste
• 0.33 cup all-purpose flour
• 0.33 cup unsalted butter, melted

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 2-quart baking dish for easy cleanup.
2. Combine sweet potatoes and their liquid in a medium saucepan. Bring to a boil over medium heat, then reduce heat to simmer.
3. Remove the saucepan from the heat and drain the sweet potatoes thoroughly.
4. Transfer the drained sweet potatoes to a medium mixing bowl. Mash them until mostly smooth using a fork or potato masher.
5. Add the sugar, butter, milk, eggs, and vanilla extract to the mashed sweet potatoes. Mix well until all ingredients are fully combined.
6. Spread the sweet potato mixture evenly into the prepared baking dish.
7. In a separate bowl, combine the pecans, brown sugar, flour, and butter. Mix with a fork or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
8. Sprinkle the pecan crumble topping evenly over the sweet potato filling in the baking dish.
9. Bake in the preheated oven for approximately 35 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the filling is heated through.
