This baked sweet potato casserole topped with a delicious pecan topping is so good and creamy — my family begs me to make it every Thanksgiving and Christmas! Try this recipe and I'm sure it will become your new tradition.

Ingredients:

Sweet Potatoes:
• 4 cups peeled, cubed sweet potatoes
• 2 large eggs, beaten
• ½ cup white sugar
• ½ cup milk
• 4 tablespoons butter, softened
• ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
• ½ teaspoon salt
Pecan Topping:
• ½ cup packed brown sugar
• ⅓ cup all-purpose flour
• 3 tablespoons butter, softened
• ½ cup chopped pecans

Directions:

Step #1 Gather the ingredients. Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).
Step #2 To prepare the sweet potatoes: Put sweet potatoes in a medium saucepan and cover with water. Cook over medium-high heat until tender, 10 to 15 minutes. Drain and transfer to a large bowl.
Step #3 Mash drained sweet potatoes with a fork. Add eggs; mix until well combined. Add sugar, milk, butter, vanilla, and salt; mix until smooth. Transfer to a 9x13-inch baking dish.
Step #4 To make the topping: Mix brown sugar and flour together in a medium bowl. Cut in butter with a pastry cutter until mixture is coarse and looks like peas; don't overmix. Stir in pecans. Sprinkle topping over sweet potato mixture.
Step #5 Bake in the preheated oven until topping is lightly browned, about 30 minutes.

Serve and enjoy!
