Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a large bowl or mixer, combine sweet potatoes, milk, brown sugar, melted butter, egg, vanilla, and salt.  Beat ingredients with a hand mixer (or in a mixer) until the sweet potatoes are light and fluffy.
  2. Transfer sweet potato mixture into a greased 9x9 inch baking pan.
  3. Stir all of the topping ingredients together in a small bowl.
  4. Sprinkle the topping evenly over the sweet potatoes.  
  5. Bake uncovered for 35 minutes.

Notes

  • Sweet potatoes or yams can be used in place of the canned sweet potatoes in this recipe. Peel and dice the sweet potatoes, then boil them until fork tender. Mash them with a little milk to reach your desired consistency, then follow the recipe instructions as written.
  • We recommend using a hand or stand mixer when blending the sweet potato mixture to get a light, airy texture. Be sure to mix until it is completely blended - no chunks!
  • This recipe can be double and cooked in a 9x13 baking pan to serve 12-15 people.
  • To reheat this casserole, warm it in the oven at 350 degrees until warmed through - about 20 minutes. If you put it in the microwave, the pecans will become soft and you won't get that good crunch.
