A delightful twist on a classic sweet potato casserole, perfect for holiday gatherings.
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Always preheat the oven to ensure even cooking.
Peel and boil the sweet potatoes until tender, then mash them in a mixing bowl.
Boiling the sweet potatoes ensures they are soft and easy to mash.
Mix the mashed sweet potatoes with butter, eggs, sugar, vanilla, and cinnamon until smooth.
Ensure the mixture is well blended for a creamy texture.
Spread the sweet potato mixture evenly into a greased baking dish.
Use a spatula to smooth the top for even baking.
In another bowl, combine pecans, flour, brown sugar, and butter to form a crumbly topping.
Mix with your hands for the best crumbly texture.
Sprinkle the topping evenly over the sweet potato mixture.
Ensure the topping covers the entire surface for a uniform crust.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown.
Check the casserole halfway through to prevent over-browning.
Let the casserole cool slightly before serving. Enjoy!
Allowing it to cool enhances the flavors and makes serving easier.
