- 0.25 cup milk
- 0.5 cup brown sugar
- 2 eggs beaten
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 0.5 tsp cinnamon ground

Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a 9x13 inch baking dish.
- Peel and cut sweet potatoes into 1-inch cubes, then boil them until very tender, which usually takes about 15-20 minutes.
Mixing
- Drain the sweet potatoes and mash them in a large bowl until smooth; then, mix in melted butter, milk, brown sugar, beaten eggs, vanilla extract, and ground cinnamon until well combined.
- For the topping, combine chopped pecans, flour, and brown sugar in a separate bowl, then cut in the cold, cubed butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Baking
- Spread the sweet potato mixture evenly into the prepared baking dish, sprinkle the topping over it, and bake for 30-35 minutes until the topping is golden brown and the casserole is heated through.
Notes
For an extra touch, toast the pecans before adding them to the topping for a deeper flavor. You can also add a pinch of nutmeg to the sweet potato mixture for added warmth.
