Ingredients

Servings

For the Sweet Potato Casserole

  • 3 to 4 pounds sweet potatoes peeled and cubed
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs beaten
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 4 tablespoons salted butter softened
  • 1/2 cup milk whole, 2%, or 1%
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

For the Pecan Streusel Topping

  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1/3 cup all-purpose flour
  • 3 tablespoons salted butter softened
  • 1/2 cup Chopped Pecans

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 325°F (165°C).
  2. Peel 3 to 4 pounds sweet potatoes and cut them into 1-inch cubes. Place them in a large pot and fill with water to cover. Bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer until fork tender, about 15 to 20 minutes. Drain the sweet potatoes thoroughly.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, combine 1/2 cup granulated sugar, 2 large eggs, 1/2 teaspoon salt, 4 tablespoons salted butter, 1/2 cup milk, and 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract. Add the cooked sweet potatoes and mix with a hand mixer until smooth. Spread the sweet potato mixture evenly into a 9x13-inch baking dish.
  4. In a separate bowl, prepare the streusel topping by combining 1/2 cup brown sugar and 1/3 cup all-purpose flour. Use a fork or pastry cutter to blend in the softened 3 tablespoons salted butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Stir in 1/2 cup chopped pecans, then sprinkle the topping evenly over the sweet potato mixture.
  5. Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes, or until the topping is golden and crisp.

Notes

  • Make-Ahead Instructions: Prepare the casserole filling as directed and spread it into the dish. Store the streusel topping separately in the refrigerator. Cover the casserole tightly and refrigerate for up to 24 hours. When ready to bake, add the streusel topping and bake as directed, adding 5-10 minutes if needed.
