| Step | Description |
|---|---|
| 1 | In a large mixing bowl, combine mashed sweet potatoes, brown sugar, salt, eggs, vanilla extract, softened butter, milk, and ground cinnamon until well blended. Pour the mixture into a 9×9 casserole dish, spreading it evenly. |
| 2 | Using a mixer, blend together the butter, brown sugar, and all-purpose flour until crumbly. Sprinkle this topping over the sweet potato mixture in the casserole dish, covering it completely. |
| 3 | Preheat the oven to 350Β°F (175Β°C). Place the casserole dish in the preheated oven and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the edges are bubbly. |
| 4 | Note: For a variation, consider using individual custard cups instead of a large casserole dish. This may require adjusting the baking time, simply bake until the topping is golden and crisp. |
| 5 | Note 2: To accommodate dietary needs, such as for diabetics, substitute Brown Sugar Twin or Brown Sweet and Low for the brown sugar. Adjust the sweetener quantity to taste preferences and consider making extra topping for those who prefer a sweeter indulgence. |
