Instructions:
- Begin by boiling the sweet potatoes until they are tender. This usually takes about 15-20 minutes, depending on the size of the potatoes.
- Once the sweet potatoes are tender, remove them from the boiling water and allow them to cool slightly.
- Once the sweet potatoes have cooled enough to handle, peel off the skins and discard them.
- Mash the sweet potatoes using a potato masher or a ricer to ensure a smooth consistency with no lumps.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the mashed sweet potatoes with evaporated milk, sugar, vanilla extract, and beaten eggs. Mix well until all the ingredients are fully incorporated.
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 13×9 inch baking pan with cooking spray.
- Transfer the sweet potato mixture into the prepared baking pan, spreading it out evenly with a spatula.
- In a separate bowl, mix together the brown sugar, flour, and melted margarine until crumbly. This will be your topping.
- Sprinkle the topping mixture evenly over the sweet potato layer in the baking pan.
- Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 35 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and crispy.
- Once baked, remove the sweet potato casserole from the oven and allow it to cool for a few minutes before serving.
