Ingredients

2 1/2 pounds sweet potatoes (about 3 large), scrubbed
2 large eggs, lightly beaten
3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted, plus more for the preparing the pan
2 tablespoons packed dark brown sugar
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
Pinch freshly grated nutmeg
Freshly ground black pepper
1/4 cup coarsely chopped pecans

Directions

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Put the sweet potatoes on a baking sheet and pierce each one 2 or 3 times with a fork. Bake for 45 to 50 minutes or until tender. Set aside to cool.

Turn the oven down to 350 degrees F. Scoop the sweet potato out of their skins and into a medium bowl. Discard the skins. Mash the potatoes until smooth. Add the eggs, butter, brown sugar, salt, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, and the pepper to taste. Whisk the mixture until smooth.

Butter an 8-by-8-inch casserole. Pour the sweet potato mixture into the pan and sprinkle the top with the pecans. Bake until puffed, about 30 minutes. Serve immediately.

perfect n easy 2 make

I doubled the recipe and it was great. I added crumbled praline pecan pieces on top and topped it off with mini... marshmallows. Superb. I also added a bit of maple syrup for that sweet flavor. Will definitely keep this.Read more

Easy & Delicious
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I found this dish to be delicious and super easy to make. It wasn't earth-shattering, but my family gobbled it up and enjoyed... it. I just wish I had made it the night before. Also, a happy byproduct was that I had a bunch of pecans left over and I made pralines which were a runaway hit. Read more

YUMMMMMMMY
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

A great alternative to those who like sweet potatoes, but not fond of the whole marshmallow contraption we grew up with. ... This is great anytime of the year, not just Thanksgiving. It went wonderfully with my Pork Loin a couple weeks ago! Highly recommend it!Read more

Easy To Make
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

This is the first time I have used sweet potatoes. Even my fussy husband tried it and "it isn't bad" was his response. I... will make this again. It's so easy but not too sweet.Read more

Best Sweet Potato Casserole Ever!!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

This is my third year making this casserole and EVERYONE raves over it! I think the big difference is that I put mini... marshmallows on top and then throw the dish in the oven to melt them. And I also skipped on the pecans. Read more
