Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Pecan Topped Candied Yams Casserole.
Step 1
Start by preheating your oven to a cozy 350°F (175°C) and greasing an 8-inch square baking dish to ensure your delicious creation doesn’t stick.
Step 2
Next, grab a microwave-safe bowl and pop in the drained yams.
Step 3
Heat them in the microwave for about 75 seconds, just long enough for them to soften and become easier to work with.
Step 4
Once they’re ready, transfer the warm yams to a large mixing bowl.
Step 5
Now, let’s add some sweetness and creaminess! Toss in the white sugar, whole milk, half a cup of softened butter, and your beaten eggs.
Step 6
Using a hand mixer, blend everything together until the mixture is smooth and well combined, creating a delightful base for your dish.
Step 7
Pour this luscious yam mixture into your prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly to ensure every bite is just as tasty as the last.
Step 8
In a separate bowl, it’s time to make the topping.
Step 9
Combine brown sugar, chopped pecans, another half cup of softened butter, and flour.
Step 10
Grab a wooden spoon and mix until you achieve a crumbly texture that will add a delightful crunch to your dish.
Step 11
Sprinkle this crumbly pecan mixture generously over the yam layer, creating a beautiful contrast.
Step 12
Now, it’s time to bake! Place your dish in the preheated oven and let it bake for about 30 minutes, or until the top turns a lovely golden brown.
Step 13
The aroma wafting through your kitchen will be irresistible, and soon you’ll have a warm, comforting treat that’s perfect for sharing with family and friends.
Step 14
Enjoy every delicious bite!.
