Ingredients

  • Filling:
  • 4 cups mashed sweet potatoes (about 4 large)
  • 1/3 cup brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup melted butter
  • 1/3 cup milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • Topping:
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup chopped pecans
  • 1/4 cup melted butter

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Peel and cube sweet potatoes. Boil until fork-tender, then drain and mash until smooth.
  3. Mix in brown sugar, granulated sugar, eggs, melted butter, milk, vanilla extract, salt, and cinnamon until well combined.
  4. Pour the sweet potato mixture into a greased 9×13-inch casserole dish and smooth the top.
  5. In a separate bowl, mix flour, brown sugar, chopped pecans, and melted butter until crumbly.
  6. Sprinkle topping evenly over the sweet potato mixture.
  7. Bake for 30–35 minutes, or until topping is golden brown and filling is set.
  8. Let cool slightly before serving.

Notes

  • Add mini marshmallows for a classic twist—use alone or with the pecan topping.
  • Swap pecans with walnuts or oats for a nut-free version.
  • Use coconut milk or reduce sugar for a lighter variation.
  • Make the filling ahead and refrigerate, then add topping and bake when ready.
  • Freezes well without topping—add topping fresh before baking.
