3 cups mashed sweet potatoes about 3-4 large-sized sweet potatoes, peeled and cooked
1/2 cup brown sugar
2 large eggs beaten
1/4 cup unsalted butter melted
1/4 cup half and half
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/3 teaspoon cinnamon

Fill a large pot of water and place it on medium-high heat. Add in the cubes and peeled sweet potatoes and bring to a boil. Cook until very soft. It will take about 20-30 minutes. Drain and add to a large bowl.
3 cups mashed sweet potatoes
Preheat your oven to 350°F then butter a 9x13 inch pan and set aside.
Mash the sweet potatoes then add in the brown sugar, lightly beaten eggs, melted butter, half and half, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and salt. Mix until combined.
1/2 cup brown sugar, 2 large eggs, 1/4 cup unsalted butter, 1/4 cup half and half, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/3 teaspoon cinnamon
In a separate bowl, mix together the chopped pecans, flour, ground cinnamon, brown sugar, salt, and softened butter using a fork or your fingers to create a crumbly streusel mixture.
1 cup chopped pecans, 1/2 cup all-purpose flour, 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon, 1/2 cup brown sugar, 1/4 cup unsalted butter
Spread the sweet potato mixture evenly into the prepared dish, then sprinkle the pecan streusel evenly on top of the sweet potato mixutre.
Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for about 25-30 minutes or until the sweet potato mixture is set and the streusel topping is golden brown. Allow the casserole to cool down for a few minutes before serving.
