Sweet Potato Casserole with Pecan Topping

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 325°F (165°C).
2. Place the sweet potatoes in a saucepan, cover with water, and cook over medium-high heat until tender, 10 to 15 minutes. Drain well.
3. Mash the sweet potatoes. Add the eggs, white sugar, milk, butter, vanilla, and salt; mix until smooth.
4. Spread the sweet potato mixture in a 9 x 13-inch baking dish.
5. For the topping, combine the brown sugar and flour. Cut in the butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs, then stir in the pecans.
6. Sprinkle the topping evenly over the sweet potatoes.
7. Bake for about 30 minutes, until the topping is lightly browned.
