Grandma’s old-fashioned sweet potato casserole

It’s not Thanksgiving without my Grandma’s old-fashioned sweet potato casserole recipe. The tender mashed sweet potatoes are topped with the most scrumptious and buttery brown sugar and pecan topping. Everyone will come back for seconds! • 4-5 medium to large sweet potatoes • 1 cup sugar • 2 eggs • 1/2 cup salted or unsalted butter • 1 teaspoon vanilla • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon • 1 cup sweetened flaked coconut

Topping • 1 cup light or dark brown sugar • 1/2 cup butter at room temp • 1 cup flour • 1 cup pecans • Peel and slice sweet potatoes. Place in pot, cover with water, bring to a boil over medium-high heat, and cook until fork-tender. Drain well and place in a large bowl. • Add butter and beat until smooth.
