A Southern take on the traditional sweet potato casserole; a creamy sweet potato base covered liberally with a crunchy pecan praline topping. This dish is great even at room temperature.
Ingredients
Topping
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 1 cup chopped pecans
- 1/3 cup butter, melted
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 (29 ounce) cans sweet potatoes, drained and mashed
- 1 cup white sugar
- ½ cup butter, melted
- ½ cup milk
- 2 eggs
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
Directions
Step 1
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9×9-inch casserole dish.
Step 2
Mix sweet potatoes, white sugar, 1/2 cup butter, milk, eggs, salt, vanilla extract, and cinnamon together in a bowl until smooth; spread into the prepared casserole dish.
Step 3
Stir brown sugar, pecans, and 1/3 cup butter together in a bowl. Mix flour into pecan mixture using your hands until evenly coated and crumbly; sprinkle over sweet potato mixture.
Step 4
Bake in the preheated oven until cooked through and praline topping is lightly browned, about 40 minutes. Cool slightly before serving, at least 25 minutes.
Cook’s Notes:
Use a hand mixer for the sweet potato mixture for a smoother result. Just use a wooden spoon if you prefer a more rustic casserole with chunks of sweet potatoes.
