Deliciously Irresistible Sweet Potato Casserole

1. Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).

2. Prepare sweet potatoes: Put sweet potatoes in a medium saucepan and cover with water. Cook over medium-high heat until tender, 10 to 15 minutes. Drain and transfer to a large bowl.

   

   

3. Mash drained sweet potatoes with a fork. Add eggs; mix until well combined. Add sugar, milk, butter, vanilla, and salt; mix until smooth. Transfer to a 9×13-inch baking dish.

   

   

4. Make topping: Mix brown sugar and flour together in a medium bowl. Cut in butter with a pastry cutter until mixture is coarse and looks like peas; don’t overmix. Stir in pecans. Sprinkle topping over sweet potato mixture.

   

   

5. Bake in the preheated oven until topping is lightly browned, about 30 minutes.

   

6. Enjoy!

   

Editor’s Note:

In preparing this recipe for the October/November 2014 issue of the Allrecipes Magazine, our team came upon some alterations for this dish leading to a version they preferred. They tripled the ingredients for the sweet potatoes, and left the pecan topping ingredients as-is.
