• In a small bowl, mix together brown sugar and flour. Cut in remaining ½ cup butter (unmelted). Cut together the brown sugar, flour and butter until the mixture is pebbly, then, stir in ¾ cup of pecans.
• Sprinkle brown sugar mixture over the top of the mashed sweet potato mixture in the baking dish.

• Serve hot.
• Refrigerate any leftovers.
• Makes 12 servings Sweet Potato Casserole
This is a fantastic, out of this world delicious recipe. Don’t just make it for Thanksgiving (I need to take my own advice on that one), but make it when you have pork or chicken too!
• If you like, you can double the brown sugar, flour and make that cutting-in-butter a whole stick to double the topping. You may have to bake a few extra minutes if you do.
• I also suggest using WHOLE pecans for that last ¼ cup you place on the top of the casserole for aesthetic reasons. So use pecan pieces of the mixture if you like, but use whole pecans for the final top.
