Crispy Sweet Potato Bake

Ingredients

• 2 sweet potatoes, peeled and cubed
• 1 cup brown sugar
• 1/2 cup butter
• 1/2 cup milk
• 2 large eggs
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1/3 cup butter, melted
• 1 cup chopped pecans
• 1/3 cup all-purpose flour

Directions

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Grease a casserole dish.

Place sweet potatoes into a large pot and cover with salted water; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer until tender, about 20 minutes. Drain and mash. Measure 3 cups mashed sweet potato and transfer to a large bowl.

Beat sweet potatoes, brown sugar, 1/2 cup butter, milk, eggs, and vanilla extract together with an electric hand mixer in a bowl until smooth and creamy; pour into the prepared casserole dish.

Pour 1/3 cup melted butter over pecans in a bowl; stir to coat. Add flour; stir until combined. Sprinkle pecan mixture over sweet potato mixture.

Bake in the preheated oven until heated through and bubbling, 20 to 25 minutes.
