Instructions

Preheat oven to 375° F (190° C). Spray a 9x13 oven-safe baking dish with non-stick spray or grease it with a little butter.
Bake the sweet potatoes for 45-60 minutes, until they are easily pierced with a fork. Let them cool for 10 minutes before mashing.
Use a potato ricer or masher to mash the sweet potatoes into a large mixing bowl.
Combine the sweet potatoes, brown sugar, kosher salt, butter, spices, vanilla extract, and eggs with a hand mixer until the sweet potato mixture is creamy and homogenous.
Pour the sweet potato mixture into your prepared baking dish. Set it aside.
Mix the pecan topping ingredients together in a medium-sized bowl with a rubber spatula or with clean hands, it doesn't have to be perfectly well mixed, but just barely coming together. Sprinkle the mixture generously and evenly over sweet potatoes in the baking dish.
Bake in the preheated oven for 50-55 minutes, the topping should be brown and crunchy. Let cool for at least 5 minutes before serving.

Notes

Prepare the sweet potato casserole filling and spread it into a freezer-safe baking dish. Cool completely, wrap tightly with plastic wrap and aluminum foil and store in the freezer up to 3 months. When ready to bake, remove from the freezer and allow to thaw overnight in the refrigerator. Make streusel topping mixture and place on top of casserole and bake as directed.
Prepare all the ingredients, put the sweet potato filling in the baking dish and cover it. Keep the topping separate and covered as well. Keep both in the fridge for up to 3 days. Sprinkle the topping over the filling and bake when you need it!
