Ingredients

  • 4 sweet potatoes (peeled and cubed)
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 beaten eggs
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 4 tablespoons softened butter
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1/3 cup all-purpose flour
  • 3 tablespoons softened butter
  • 1/2 cup chopped pecans

Directions

  1. 1

    Preheat the oven to 325 degrees.

  2. 2

    In a large pot, bring water to a boil. Add the cubed sweet potatoes and return to a boil. Reduce the heat to low and simmer the sweet potatoes until they are tender (about 15-20 minutes). Once done, drain the water.

  3. 3

    In a large bowl, combine white sugar, eggs, salt, butter, milk, and vanilla. Mix in the cooked sweet potatoes using a hand mixer until the mixture is smooth. Transfer this mixture to a 9x13-inch baking dish.

  4. 4

    In a separate medium bowl, prepare the streusel topping. Combine the brown sugar and flour. Cut in the butter until the mixture has a coarse texture. Stir in the chopped pecans. Evenly sprinkle this topping over the sweet potato mixture in the baking dish.

  5. 5

    Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes.
