Instructions:
-
Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C) and greasing a baking dish with butter or non-stick spray to prevent sticking.
-
Start by preparing the sweet potatoes. Peel and cut them into chunks, then place them in a large mixing bowl.
-
Drain any excess liquid from the sweet potatoes to ensure the casserole maintains the perfect consistency.
-
Add the sugar, vanilla extract, eggs, milk, cream cheese, butter, and cinnamon to the mixing bowl with the sweet potatoes.
-
Using a mixer or a potato masher, blend the ingredients together until smooth and well combined. The texture should be creamy and free of lumps.
-
Pour the sweet potato mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly and ensuring it’s about 2-3 inches thick. Leave at least 1 inch of space from the top of the dish to allow for expansion during baking.
-
In a separate bowl, combine the pecans, flour, brown sugar, and butter to create the topping for the casserole.
-
Sprinkle the topping mixture evenly over the surface of the sweet potato mixture in the baking dish, ensuring it covers the entire surface.
-
Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and place it in the preheated oven.
-
Bake the casserole covered for 25 minutes to allow the flavors to meld and the sweet potatoes to cook through.
-
After 25 minutes, remove the foil from the baking dish and continue baking uncovered for an additional 20 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and crispy.
-
Once the casserole is done baking, remove it from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before serving.
-
Serve the sweet potato casserole warm as a side dish or dessert, and enjoy the irresistible combination of creamy sweet potatoes, crunchy pecans, and warm spices.
-
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days, reheating in the oven or microwave before serving for the best taste and texture.
