Course: Side Dish
Prep Time: 15 minutes
Cook Time: 40 minutes
Total Time: 55 minutes
Servings: 6

Ingredients

  • 6 cups mashed sweet potatoes (I used 4 sweet potatoes, peeled, cubed, boiled, and mashed)
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1 cup softened butter
  • 2 tsp vanilla
  • 4 eggs

Topping

  • 1/3 cups softened butter
  • 1/3 cup flour
  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • 1 cup pecans, chopped

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 325° F and grease a 9x13 inch baking dish. 
  • Prepare mashed sweet potatoes.
  • In a large bowl, combine the sweet potatoes, sugar, eggs, butter, and vanilla. Beat together with an electric mixer until combined.
  • Empty contents into the baking dish and smooth out the top.
  • Prepare the streusel topping by combining the brown sugar, flour, butter, and chopped nuts. (If you don’t do nuts, just skip them! The topping won’t be as crunchy but will still taste amazing) mix well with your fingers then evenly sprinkle over the sweet potatoes. 
  • Bake uncovered at 325° F for 30-40 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. 

Notes

Note: if you notice the top overly browning you can add some foil for the last ten minutes of baking.
