  • 1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
  • 1/4 cup milk (or heavy cream for extra richness!)

Instructions

Step 1: Cook & Mash the Sweet Potatoes

  1. Bring a large pot of water to a boil.
  2. Add cubed sweet potatoes and cook until fork-tender (about 15-20 minutes).
  3. Drain well and mash until smooth.

Step 2: Make the Sweet Potato Mixture

  1. In a large bowl, mix mashed sweet potatoes, melted butter, brown sugar, milk, eggs, vanilla, cinnamon, and salt until smooth.
  2. Spread evenly into a greased 9×13-inch baking dish.

Step 3: Make the Pecan Streusel

  1. In a small bowl, mix brown sugar, flour, pecans, cinnamon, and melted butter until crumbly.
  2. Sprinkle evenly over the sweet potato filling.

Step 4: Bake the Casserole

  1. Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 25-30 minutes, until golden and bubbly.
  2. (Optional: If using marshmallows, add them on top during the last 5 minutes of baking and broil until golden brown.)

Step 5: Serve & Enjoy!

  2. Enjoy with Thanksgiving turkey, roasted ham, or your favorite holiday dishes!

Serving Suggestions

  • With Extra Crunch: Sprinkle extra chopped pecans before serving.
  • With a Drizzle: Add maple syrup or caramel sauce for indulgence!
  • As a Leftover Treat: Enjoy cold or reheat for a next-day snack.

Notes

  • Want it creamier? Use heavy cream instead of milk.
