Ingredients
Scale
- 3 cups sweet potatoes (mashed, canned or cooked and cooled)
- 2 large eggs (well beaten)
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 1 cup pecans (chopped)
- ½ cup butter (melted, 113 g)
- ¼ cup butter (melted, 57 g)
- ⅓ cup flour (all-purpose)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 cup sugar
- ½ tsp salt
Instructions
- Topping Preparation: Combine brown sugar, flour, chopped nuts, and melted butter, mixing until a coarse, crumbly texture emerges.
- Potato Mixture: Preheat oven to 350°F. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together mashed sweet potatoes, sugar, salt, vanilla extract, eggs, and melted butter until smooth and well-incorporated.
- Assembly: Thoroughly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish. Pour the sweet potato mixture into the prepared pan, spreading evenly to create a uniform base.
- Crumble Application: Generously sprinkle the prepared nutty crumble across the entire surface of the sweet potato mixture, ensuring complete coverage.
- Baking and Finishing: Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes, watching for a golden-brown crust and crisp edges. Allow the casserole to rest for 30 minutes after removal, enabling flavors to meld and settle before serving.
Notes
- Perfectly Prep Topping: Ensure nuts are finely chopped for an even, crunchy texture that blends seamlessly with the crumble mixture.
- Temperature Matters: Maintain consistent 350°F oven heat to achieve golden-brown topping and evenly cooked sweet potato base.
- Mixing Magic: Whisk ingredients thoroughly to create a smooth, lump-free sweet potato mixture that guarantees a creamy, luxurious consistency.
- Resting Ritual: Allow casserole to cool for 30 minutes to let flavors meld and set, transforming it from good to absolutely spectacular.
