Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Delicious Sweet Potato Casserole with Pineapple and Coconut.
Step 1
Start by preheating your oven to a cozy 350°F (175°C). While the oven warms up, grab a 9x13-inch baking dish and give it a light greasing to prevent sticking. This will ensure your casserole comes out beautifully!
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, combine the drained crushed pineapple, flaked coconut, cooked mashed sweet potatoes, white sugar, eggs, vanilla extract, milk, and 1/2 cup of melted butter. Beat everything together until the mixture is smooth and creamy. This is where the magic begins!
Step 3
Pour this luscious mixture into your prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly. Now, let’s make the topping! In a separate bowl, mix together the all-purpose flour, brown sugar, 1/3 cup of melted butter, and finely chopped pecans. Stir until everything is well combined and crumbly.
Step 4
Sprinkle this delightful pecan mixture generously over the sweet potato batter. It’s going to add a wonderful crunch!
Step 5
Now, it’s time to bake! Place your casserole in the preheated oven and let it bake for about 30 minutes, or until it’s bubbly and the topping is a beautiful golden brown. The aroma will fill your kitchen and make your mouth water!
Step 6
Once baked, remove the casserole from the oven and let it cool slightly before serving. This dish is perfect as a side for holiday meals or any family gathering. Enjoy every delicious bite!
