Easy Sweet Potato Casserole with an irresistible crunchy pecan topping. This recipe is so flavorful. The sweet potatoes are soft, smooth and puff up slightly while baking.
Cook Sweet Potatoes - Peel and chop sweet potatoes into 1" chunks. Add to a large pot with enough water to cover surface of potatoes and bring to a boil. Cook uncovered at a medium/low boil about until easily pierced with a fork (about 10-15 minutes). Drain and mash (mash with an electric mixer to make it even creamier).
Make Sweet Potato Filling - Preheat Oven to 350˚F. In a large bowl, whisk together eggs, granulated sugar, melted butter, vanilla, and a pinch of salt. Stir butter mixture into cooked sweet potatoes, then stir in dried cranberries. Spread sweet potato mix evenly into a 9x13 casserole dish.
Make Pecan Crumble Topping - In a small bowl, combine brown sugar and flour. Add butter and use your hands to rub the mixture together until pea-sized crumbs form. Stir in chopped pecans.
Assemble & Bake - Sprinkle over sweet potatoes and bake at 350˚F uncovered for 35-40 min or until hot and sweet potatoes start to puff at the edges.
