Casserole
4 large sweet potatoes
5/8 cup butter
1 cup evaporated milk
3 eggs, beaten
1 cup sugar
2 1/2 teaspoons nutmeg
2 1/2 teaspoons vanilla
2 1/2 teaspoons cinnamon
Topping
2 cups crushed corn flakes
1 cup brown sugar (unpacked)
1 cup chopped pecans
1/2 cup butter, melted

1
Preheat over to 425 degrees. Butter a 13x9 glass baking dish and set aside.
2
Bake the potatoes until soft throughout. This can be done in either the oven or the microwave, there is no difference in the end product. Then peel the skins off, and whip the potatoes in a large bowl with an electric mixer.
3
Add in all the casserole ingredients and beat with electric mixer until smooth. Spread in the glass dish and bake 20 minutes, uncovered. This can be prepared a day in advance & refridgerated overnight, simply increase the cook time to 30 minutes to cook through.
4
FOR THE TOPPING, crush corn flakes by hand to equal 2 cups (about 4 cups from the box). Stir in unpacked brown sugar and chopped pecans. Set aside.
5
Just before the casserole is done, melt butter and add to dry topping mix. Stir until thoroughly moist.
6
Remove casserole from oven, reduce heat to 400 degrees, and spread topping over top.
7
Bake uncovered 15 minutes at 400.

This sweet potato casserole is great hot, warm or cold. And the leftovers taste just as good as when first made.

Tips for the best results

Read through all the steps once before you start and measure out your ingredients first — it makes everything go more smoothly.
Taste as you go and adjust the seasoning before serving.
Avoid overcrowding the pan — cook in batches if needed for the best texture.
Let the dish rest for a few minutes before serving so the flavors settle.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge and enjoy within a few days.

Variations & substitutions

Use a neutral oil or a plant-based spread in place of butter for a dairy-free version.
Brown sugar instead of white sugar adds a deeper, more caramel-like flavor.
Leave out the nuts to make it nut-free, or swap in seeds for a similar crunch.
