Ingredients

3 large sweet potatoes peeled and cubed, (about 2 lbs.,) $3.39
½ cup salted butter divided, (113g) $0.92
¼ cup whole milk 2 fl oz., $0.06
2 eggs beaten, $0.39
½ cup brown sugar divided, (100g) $0.25
½ tsp ground cinnamon $0.02
½ tsp salt $0.04
1 tsp vanilla extract $0.67
½ cup chopped pecans 55g, $1.69
¼ cup all-purpose flour 30g, $0.04

Instructions

Gather and prep all ingredients. Grease a 9x9 baking dish and preheat the oven to 350°F (177°C).
Boil cubed sweet potatoes in salted water until fork-tender, about 12-15 minutes. Drain.
Mash sweet potatoes until smooth.*
Add in 4 Tbsp (¼ cup) butter, milk, eggs, ¼ cup brown sugar, cinnamon, salt, and vanilla until smooth. Spread evenly in the prepared baking dish.
In a small bowl, combine the pecans, flour, and remaining ¼ cup brown sugar. Pour in the remaining ¼ cup melted butter, and stir until a sandy, crumbly consistency forms.
Sprinkle the pecan streusel evenly over the sweet potato layer.
Bake uncovered for 25-30 minutes, until the topping is golden and the casserole is set.
Allow to cool slightly before serving.
