Sweet Potato Casserole with Crunchy Praline Topping

Ingredients

• 2 (29 ounce) cans sweet potatoes, drained and mashed
• 1 cup white sugar
• 0.5 cup butter, melted
• 0.5 cup milk
• 2 eggs eggs
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 0.5 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1 cup brown sugar
• 1 cup chopped pecans
• 0.33 cup butter, melted
• 1 cup all-purpose flour

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly grease a 9x9-inch casserole dish to prevent sticking.
2. In a large bowl, combine the sweet potatoes, white sugar, 1/2 cup of butter, milk, eggs, salt, vanilla extract, and cinnamon. Mix until the mixture is smooth, then spread it evenly into the prepared casserole dish.
3. In a separate bowl, stir together the brown sugar, pecans, and 1/3 cup of butter. Using your hands, incorporate flour into the pecan mixture until it is evenly coated and has a crumbly texture; sprinkle this mixture generously over the sweet potato layer.
4. Bake in the preheated oven for approximately 40 minutes, or until the casserole is cooked through and the praline topping has achieved a lightly browned color. Allow it to cool slightly for at least 25 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld.
