Easy Sweet Potato Casserole with Pecan Crumble Topping
Easy Sweet Potato Casserole with Pecan Crumble Topping is a rich and buttery Thanksgiving casserole, made with baked sweet potatoes mashed together with brown sugar and spices, topped with a sweet and crunchy layer of sugar and pecans.
Wash potatoes and poke a few holes in each one with a fork. Bake for 40-50 minutes, or until soft and a fork can go through them easily. Remove from oven and allow to cool. Once cool, remove skins (they should practically fall off).
In a mixing bowl, add sweet potatoes, eggs, butter, milk, sugar, maple syrup, vanilla, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. Mix all ingredients together until well blended.
Add mixture to greased 9 x 13" baking dish.
In a mixing bowl, stir together brown sugar, flour, and salt. Add butter in pieces and stir together until it forms a coarse meal. (It's also easier to use your hands for this part).
Stir in pecans. Add topping evenly over potatoes.
Bake uncovered for 30-35 minutes, or until topping is golden brown.
