Ingredients

2 (29 ounce) cans sweet potatoes, drained and mashed
1 cup white sugar
½ cup butter, melted
½ cup milk
2 eggs
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 cup brown sugar
1 cup chopped pecans
⅓ cup butter, melted

Steps:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9x9-inch casserole dish.

Stir brown sugar, pecans, and 1/3 cup butter together in a bowl. Mix flour into pecan mixture using your hands until evenly coated and crumbly; sprinkle over sweet potato mixture.
