Ingredients
Directions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Peel and cube the sweet potatoes. Place them in a large pot of boiling water and cook until tender, about 15-20 minutes.
Drain the sweet potatoes and return them to the pot. Mash them with a potato masher or hand mixer.
Add melted butter, granulated sugar, milk, vanilla extract, and beaten eggs to the mashed sweet potatoes. Mix until well combined and smooth.
Transfer the sweet potato mixture to a greased 9x13-inch baking dish, spreading it evenly.
In a separate bowl, combine the flour, brown sugar, pecans, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Stir in the remaining melted butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Sprinkle the pecan mixture over the sweet potato layer in the baking dish.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, until the topping is golden brown and the casserole is heated through.

Tips:You can prepare the sweet potato mixture a day in advance and store it in the refrigerator. Just add the topping before baking.Feel free to substitute walnuts for pecans if desired. For a sweeter treat, you can add mini marshmallows on top of the pecan streusel during the last few minutes of baking.Serve this delicious casserole warm as a side dish for any special occasion!
