I got this recipe from my friend Becky Defelice! She is a real southern girl who has been here all her live. I have learned a lot from her about southern cooking. I hope you enjoy this recipe as much as my family has.

Prep: 15 min      Servings: 8
Bake: 30 minutes

3 to 4 cups of mashed sweet potatoes ( bake 5 to 6 sweet potatoes )
1/2 cup sugar
3 eggs
1/2 stick butter
1 tsp vanilla
1 tsp cinnamon
3/4 cups milk
Topping
1 cup brown sugar
1 cup flour
1 cup chopped pecans

1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
2. In a large bowl mash the sweet potatoes. Slowly add the sugar, eggs, butter, vanilla, cinnamon and milk.
3. Place sweet potato mix in a 13-x-9-2-inch baking dish.
4. In a small bowl prepare the topping. You will want to use your hands to mix together the brown sugar, flour and pecans. Spread on the topping of the sweet potato mixture evenly.
5. Bake for 20 to 30 minutes or until the topping is slightly brown. Enjoy!!
