Directions
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9x13 inch baking dish.
Step 2
Peel the sweet potatoes and cut them into chunks. Place them in a large pot and cover with water. Bring the water to a boil over high heat, then reduce the heat to medium and let the sweet potatoes simmer until they are fork-tender, about 20-25 minutes.
Step 3
Drain the sweet potatoes and mash them in a large bowl. Add the milk, melted butter, brown sugar, vanilla extract, cinnamon, nutmeg, salt, and beaten eggs. Stir until well combined.
Step 4
Pour the sweet potato mixture into the prepared baking dish and spread it evenly.
Step 5
In a separate bowl, mix together the brown sugar, flour, softened butter, and chopped pecans. Sprinkle the topping over the sweet potato mixture.
Step 6
Bake the sweet potato casserole in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the filling is set.
Step 7
Let the casserole cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy your delicious and comforting sweet potato casserole!
