Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a 9x13 inch baking dish by greasing it with butter or cooking spray.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine 4 cups of mashed sweet potatoes, 1 cup of granulated sugar, 1/2 cup of melted unsalted butter, and 1/2 cup of milk. Mix until smooth.
  3. Add 2 large beaten eggs, 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract, 1/2 teaspoon of ground cinnamon, 1/4 teaspoon of ground nutmeg, and 1/4 teaspoon of salt. Whisk until velvety.
  4. Pour the sweet potato mixture into your prepared baking dish and smooth the top.
  5. In a separate bowl, combine 1 cup of chopped pecans, 1/2 cup of packed brown sugar, and 1/4 cup of all-purpose flour. Mix well.
  6. Add 1/4 cup of cold unsalted butter to the topping mixture and work until crumbly.
  7. Spread the pecan topping evenly over the sweet potato mixture.
  8. Bake for 30 to 40 minutes until set and topping is golden. Check for doneness by shaking the dish.
  9. Remove from oven and let cool for about 10 minutes before serving.
