Baked Yams with Pecan Crumble

Step 1
Place yams into a large pot and cover with salted water; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer until tender, about 10 minutes. Drain and mash; measure out 3 cups of mashed yams.

Step 2
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 2-quart ovenproof casserole dish.

Step 3
Combine mashed yams, brown sugar, eggs, milk, and melted butter in a bowl. Transfer to the prepared casserole dish.

Step 4
Combine pecans, brown sugar, flour, and melted butter in a bowl and mix well. Sprinkle topping over yams.

Step 5
Cover and bake in the preheated oven until heated through, about 1 hour.
