Instructions

DIRECTIONS Pre-heat your oven to 350 degrees and prep a medium to small sized casserole dish with cooking spray. I used a 9×9 inch casserole dish.
Use a mixer to whip together cooked, mashed sweet potatoes (instructions to cook, bake, or microwave sweet potatoes above),
2/3 cup granulated sugar,
1/4 teaspoon salt,
3/4 teaspoon vanilla extract,
1 egg – beaten,
3 tablespoons unsalted melted butter
. Mix until the potatoes are light and fluffy.
Pour the potato mixture into the prepared casserole dish and bake for 30 minutes.
Meanwhile, combine the crust ingredients in a small bowl –
2/3 cup brown sugar,
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour,
1/2 cup finely chopped pecans,
3 tablespoons melted butter and
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract.
Sprinkle the crust over the casserole after it has baked for 30 minutes.
Bake for 10-15 minutes longer, until the pecan crust is lightly browned and crunchy.
