The Best Sweet Potato Casserole

    What would Thanksgiving be without sweet potato casserole? My family is usually the mini marshmallow and canned yam type. I thought I would mix it up with a little brown sugar and chopped pecan topping. I love this recipe! I'll definitely be making it for years to come.

The Best Sweet Potato Casserole

Ingredients:

- 3 pounds of sweet potato (about 4 cups) peeled, cooked, and mashed

- 1/2 cup of sugar

- 1/2 cup of butter, softened

- 2 eggs

- 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract

- 1/3 cup of milk

- 1/4 teaspoon of cinnamon

 For the topping:

- 1/3 cup of butter, softened

- 1 cup of brown sugar

- 1/2 cup of four

- 1 and 1/2 cup of chopped pecans

     Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Mix together the mashed sweet potato, sugar, 1/2 cup of butter, eggs, vanilla, milk, and cinnamon. Spread into the bottom of a greased 9x13 baking dish. Next, mix together all of the topping ingredients. Spread the topping evenly over the potato mixture. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until the topping has a light golden brown.
