Instructions:

  1. Boil sweet potatoes until fork-tender. Drain well.
  2. Mash or beat the cooked sweet potatoes with butter, brown sugar, milk, eggs, vanilla extract, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and salt until smooth.
  3. Melt butter in a skillet over medium heat and cook, swirling occasionally, until it turns golden brown and smells nutty (about 5-7 minutes).
  4. Remove skillet from heat. Stir in flour, brown sugar, pecans, and salt until combined.
  5. Spread sweet potato filling evenly into the baking dish. Sprinkle the brown butter pecan topping evenly over the filling.
  6. Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 30-35 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the filling is heated through. This is the final step for the Sweet Potato Casserole With Pecans recipe
