Sweet Potato Casserole
A creamy, sweet, and crunchy sweet potato dish that’s perfect for family gatherings.
Ingredients
- 4 large sweet potatoes, peeled and cubed
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- ½ cup milk
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- ½ tsp salt
- ½ cup unsalted butter, melted
Topping
- ½ cup packed brown sugar
- ⅓ cup all-purpose flour
- ⅓ cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 cup chopped pecans (or marshmallows for a sweeter option)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a baking dish (9x13 inches) lightly with butter or cooking spray.
- Boil sweet potatoes in a pot until tender, about 15-20 minutes. Drain and let cool slightly.
- Mash the sweet potatoes until smooth, then add sugar, milk, eggs, vanilla, salt, and melted butter. Mix until well combined and smooth.
- Spread the sweet potato mixture evenly in the prepared baking dish.
- In a separate bowl, prepare the topping by combining brown sugar, flour, melted butter, and pecans. Stir until the mixture resembles a crumble.
- Sprinkle the topping evenly over the sweet potato mixture.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes or until the top is golden brown and slightly crispy.
- Remove from oven and allow to cool slightly before serving.
Notes
For a sweeter topping, replace pecans with mini marshmallows.
