How To Make 8"x8" sweet potato casserole

Step 1

Lightly butter an 8"x8" casserole dish; set aside.

Step 2

Using a hand mixer, beat the sweet potatoes until smooth or to derired consistency (I like to leave a few lumps) and remove any "strings" you see that may be in the potatoes.
Step 3

Add eggs; mix well.
Step 4

Add 1/2 cup granulated sugar, 1/4 cup melted butter, milk and vanilla; mix well.
Step 5

Pour potato mixture into prepared dish.
Step 6

Place oven rack in middle position and preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
Step 7

In a medium bowl, mix together brown sugar, flour and pecans; distribute evenly over sweet potato mixture.
Step 8

Spoon remaining 1/4 cup melted butter evenly over the top.
Step 9

Bake at 375 degrees F for 1 hour, rotating dish after first 1/2 hour.
Step 10

Allow to cool for at least 10-15 minutes before serving. Refrigerate leftovers.
