This sweet potato casserole with pecan topping is the perfect holiday dish.
Have you started planning your holiday menus? I have always been a lover of food but there is something I really love about planning and making an entire feast.
I love gathering with family, enjoying good conversation and delicious food. I love breakfast quiche, Sweet Potato Casserole with Pecans, the perfect turkey, mashed potatoes, pie and more.
It is a family tradition to always make layered finger Jello and Sour Cream Coffee Cake. The holidays are all about food and tradition and I always look forward to them.
This Sweet Potato Casserole with Pecans is a great addition to your holiday feast.

Peel and cube the sweet potatoes and place in a large pot with water.
Add the eggs, butter, milk, sugars, vanilla, salt and cinnamon and mash or blend with a mixer until completely smooth.
In a separate, small bowl, combine the butter, sugar, flour and salt. Crumble the mixture over the sweet potato puree, then top with the pecans.
Bake until the streusel topping is golden brown, about 30 minutes.
This dish is delicious served warm or cold as leftovers. You may want to double the recipe because in our house, the Sweet Potato Casserole with Pecans is always a great favorite.
