Ingredients:
| Quantity | Ingredient |
|---|---|
| 3 | Sweet potatoes |
| 2 | Eggs |
| 1/2 cup | Milk |
| 1 tsp | Vanilla extract |
| 1 cup | Sugar |
| 1/2 tsp | Salt |
| 2 tbsp | Butter (melted) |
| 2 1/2 tbsp | Butter (softened) |
| 1 cup | Brown sugar |
| 1/3 cup | All-purpose flour |
Instructions:
-
Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (175 degrees Celsius). Grease an 8-inch square baking pan lightly with butter or cooking spray.
-
Prepare Sweet Potato Mixture: In a large mixing bowl, combine the peeled and mashed sweet potatoes, beaten eggs, milk, vanilla extract, granulated sugar, salt, and melted butter. Mix well until all ingredients are fully incorporated and the mixture is smooth.
-
Transfer to Baking Pan: Pour the sweet potato mixture into the prepared baking pan, spreading it out evenly with a spatula.
-
Prepare Topping: In a separate small bowl, mix together the softened butter, brown sugar, and all-purpose flour until crumbly. You can use a pastry cutter or your fingers to achieve a coarse, crumb-like texture.
-
Add Topping: Sprinkle the prepared brown sugar mixture evenly over the top of the sweet potato mixture in the baking pan.
-
Bake: Place the baking pan in the preheated oven and bake for 35 to 45 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the edges are slightly bubbly.
-
Rest Before Serving: Once baked, remove the sweet potato casserole from the oven and allow it to rest for about 15 minutes before serving. This helps the casserole set and makes it easier to slice into servings.
-
Serve: After resting, slice the sweet potato casserole into portions and serve warm. Enjoy the creamy, sweet goodness of this comforting dish!
