Sweet Potato Casserole with Butter Pecan Crumble Topping

I love sweet potatoes and have a ton of recipes using them from bread to enchiladas but I was missing a classic: sweet potato casserole.

It was about time I made it and we loved every bite because this isn’t just any ole sweet potato casserole. The crunchy butter pecan crumble topping really sets it apart.

It’s an easy recipe to make and preassemble before baking it off especially if you’re cooking it for a holiday meal like Thanksgiving or Christmas Eve dinner.


When cooking a holiday meal it’s so helpful to have as many things in the ‘ready to pop into the oven’ stage as possible and this is one of those dishes. I’d prep it the night before, cover, and refrigerate if you’re planning on prepping in advance.

INGREDIENTS:
Filling

  • 4 pounds raw sweet potatoes, diced into large chunks and boiled
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1/2 cup milk (I used unsweetened cashewmilk)
  • 1/2 cup light brown sugar, packed
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt, or to taste
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg, optional
  • 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon, optional

Topping

  • 5 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 2/3 cup light brown sugar, packed
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt, or to taste
  • 1 cup Fisher Pecan Halves

DIRECTIONS:

  1. Filling – To a large stockpot, add the sweet potato chunks, cover with water, and bring to a boil. Cook over high heat until sweet potatoes are fork tender. Drain well and transfer to a large bowl.
  2. Preheat oven to 350F and spray a 2.5 to 3-quart baking dish or a 9×13-inch baking pan with cooking spray; set aside.
  3. To the large bowl with the sweet potatoes, add the eggs, butter, milk, brown sugar, granulated sugar, vanilla, salt, optional nutmeg, optional cinnamon, and beat with a handheld electric mixer on medium-high speed until combined and fluffy. Turn out into baking dish, smoothing the top lightly with a spatula; set aside.
