Description

Sweet potato casserole with a crunchy praline topping is a Southern take on the traditional Thanksgiving side dish. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Ingredients

2 (29 ounce) cans sweet potatoes, drained and mashed
1 cup white sugar
1/2 cup butter, melted
1/2 cup milk
2 eggs
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 cup brown sugar
1 cup chopped pecans
1/3 cup butter, melted
1 cup all-purpose flour

Directions

1 Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9x9-inch casserole dish.
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.
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.
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.
