  4. Drain the cooked sweet potatoes and transfer them to a large mixing bowl.
  5. Using a potato masher or a fork, mash the sweet potatoes until they reach a smooth and creamy consistency.

    Adding the Flavors and Assembling the Casserole
  6. To the mashed sweet potatoes, add the brown sugar, melted butter, milk, eggs, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, and salt.
  7. Using a handheld mixer or a whisk, blend all the ingredients together until they are well combined and smooth.
  8. Grease a baking dish and transfer the sweet potato mixture into it, spreading it evenly.
  9. Sprinkle the chopped pecans over the top of the sweet potato mixture, creating an even layer.


Baking and Serving the Sweet Potato Casserole

  1. Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for approximately 30 minutes or until the casserole is set and the pecans are golden brown.
  2. Once baked, remove the sweet potato casserole from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before serving.
