My family begs me to make this creamy baked dish every Thanksgiving and Christmas. What makes it so good is the pecan topping! Try it and I'm sure it will become your new tradition!Ingredients | Mixed Vegetables Side Dish Recipe
4 cups sweet potato, cubed
½ cup white sugar
2 eggs, beaten
½ teaspoon salt

⅓ cup all-purpose flour
3 tablespoons butter, softened
½ cup chopped pecans
Directions
Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Put sweet potatoes in a medium saucepan with water to cover. Cook over medium high heat until tender; drain and mash.
In a large bowl, mix together the sweet potatoes, white sugar, eggs, salt, butter, milk and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth. Transfer to a 9x13 inch baking dish.

Bake in the preheated oven 30 minutes, or until the topping is lightly brown.
