Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Sweet Potato Crunch Bake.
Step 1
Start by preheating your oven to a cozy 350°F (175°C) and give a light greasing to a 9x9-inch casserole dish to ensure your delicious creation doesn’t stick.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, combine your drained and mashed sweet potatoes with white sugar, melted butter, milk, eggs, a pinch of salt, vanilla extract, and a sprinkle of ground cinnamon.
Step 3
Stir everything together until the mixture is smooth and beautifully blended, creating a sweet and creamy base.
Step 4
Next, gently spread this delightful sweet potato mixture evenly into your prepared casserole dish, making sure every corner is filled with that comforting goodness.
Step 5
In a separate bowl, mix together brown sugar, chopped pecans, and 1/3 cup of melted butter.
Step 6
Gradually add in the flour, using your hands to combine until the mixture becomes crumbly and well-coated, creating a crunchy topping that will add texture to your dish.
Step 7
Now, sprinkle this pecan mixture generously over the sweet potato layer, ensuring it’s evenly distributed for that perfect crunch in every bite.
Step 8
Place your casserole in the preheated oven and let it bake for about 40 minutes, or until the casserole is cooked through and the topping turns a lovely golden brown.
Step 9
Once it’s done, resist the urge to dive in right away; let it cool for at least 25 minutes.
Step 10
This waiting time will enhance the flavors and make serving even more enjoyable.
Step 11
Enjoy your sweet potato casserole, a dish that’s sure to warm hearts and bring smiles to the table!.
