Ingredients
  

Filling

  • 3 cups Sweet Potatoes peeled and cut into 1 inch chunks
  • 1 cup Sugar
  • 1 tsp Vanilla
  • ½ cup Butter or Margarine
  • 2 Eggs

Topping

  • 1 cup Light Brown Sugar
  • cup Flour
  • cup Butter or Margarine melted
  • 1 cup Pecans chopped

Instructions
 

  • Place Sweet Potatoes chunks in a large pot and cover with water. Bring to a boil and cook until Potatoes are soft and knife inserted easily goes through.
  • Drain and place in large bowl.
  • Preheat oven to 350F.
  • Add Sugar, Vanilla and Butter, and give it a stir. Now add in Eggs and using mixer, blend well until fluffy.
  • Put Sweet Potato mixture into at least a 2 quart baking dish.
  • To make the topping, mix together the Light Brown Sugar, Flour, melted Butter and Pecans until well mixed and butter has been "absorbed" and you now have a "crumble" mixture.
  • Sprinkle over the top of the Sweet Potato mixture to cover completely.
  • Place in 350F preheated oven, uncovered and bake for about 30 minutes or the crumble on top starts to turn golden.
  • Remove from oven and cool for at least 5 minutes before serving.
  • Serve and ENJOY!

If you want to add some scattered Marshmallows over top and let them brown, do so during the last 10 minutes of baking.
