The sweet potatoes are tender and creamy, while the streusel topping adds a delightful buttery crunch thanks to the pecans! I love sweet potatoes and have a ton of recipes using them from bread to enchiladas, but I was missing a classic: sweet potato casserole. This sweet potato casserole with pecans is an easy recipe to make and assemble before baking it off, especially if you’re cooking it for a holiday meal like Thanksgiving or Christmas Eve dinner. I’d prep it the night before, cover, and refrigerate if you’re planning on prepping in advance. The mashed sweet potatoes are so tender, creamy, and fluffy while the crumbly, streusel topping adds a buttery, brown sugary crunch thanks to the pecans. The brown sugar caramelizes in the oven with the butter and the topping is irresistible. I kind of want to put this topping on everything now.

I originally posted this recipe in November 2016 and it’s become a reader and family favorite and holiday staple over the years. You and your family will absolutely adore it!

How to Make Sweet Potato Casserole I’m not even remotely exaggerating when I say this is the best sweet potato casserole recipe! To make it, you’ll first need to boil the sweet potatoes in a large pot until fork tender. Then, add the cooked sweet potatoes to a large bowl along with the eggs, butter, milk, brown sugar, granulated sugar, vanilla, salt, nutmeg, and cinnamon.
