Made this yesterday with just a couple of slight adjustments; used double the amount of sweet potatoes, 1 cup of brown sugar but kept the rest of the ingredients the same. Everyone LOVED it and this looks like it will be my new go to sweet potato recipe! Thx! Oh, and can be prepped in advance, refrigerated and then baked which is always a good thing to be able to do when hosting 10 for dinner!

Excellent and so easy to put together. We will make this recipe throughout the year not just for Thanksgiving. The only addition that I will make in the future is to add some cinnamon and nutmeg.

I made this for Thanksgiving, but used two 49 oz cans of sweet potatoes (drained). Because the potatoes were already sweet from the syrup I left out the sugar called for in the recipe, and only used a tablespoon of milk. It still turned out well, although next time I won't use the canned potatoes. The topping really makes this dish extra special. As others have said, don't add the pecans until the butter, flour and brown sugar are crumbly. Thanks for the great recipe!

This is a southern staple at holidays. My family always makes it for Thanksgiving and Christmas.

Good recipe, however the directions.....
For all you new cooks out there, when you're making the topping, be sure to add the pecans after you've already cut your butter/margarine into the flour/brown sugar mixture. Otherwise, you'll be spending tons of time trying to incorporate the butter around the pecans.

I have made this for years. If I didn't bring it to Thanksgiving I would be in a lot of trouble! Everyone LOVES it! I cook and mash the potatoes thd night before and refrigerate, then it's a lot less work on the day of dinner ??

This is a fantastic side dish! I love the pecan topping - it's luscious! I have sometimes varied the dish by adding 1/2 - 1 cup of well-drained pineapple to the sweet potato mixture. The pineapple is a nice addition and goes well with the sweet potato flavor. This is a perfect recipe for the Thanksgiving table (or any time, really!).

I've used this recipe off and on for years. Folks seem to love it. It's easy and I use canned sweet potatoes making it even easier.
