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.
