Sweet Potato Casserole with Pecan Streusel #FallFlavors

I received product from sponsors, Millican Pecan Company and Door County Coffee to assist in the creation of recipes for the Fall Flavors event.  All content, writings and opinions in this blog are strictly my own.

This custard like sweet potato casserole topped with a delicious pecan streusel is sure to become the new family favorite at your holiday table.

My grand-niece, Lili, whose hand you see scooping out some of this amazing casserole, leaned over to me during family dinner and said "these are the best sweet potatoes I have ever eaten".  That made my heart sing.

Then when my son in law, Doug, took a bite and said "Holy SH**, that's a good crust on those sweet potatoes", my heart soared.

I am proud to share these with you as my last installment in the Fall Flavors event we have been celebrating all week long.

Welcome to Flavors of Fall where we celebrate all things associated with fall like squash, apples, pecans, sweaters, football; you get the idea!  Ellen from Family Around the Table and Christie from A Kitchen Hoor’s Adventures have gathered 24 bloggers who have over 100 recipes they’re sharing this week in celebration of cool weather and sweatshirts.  We hope you find many must make recipes so get your pinning, tweeting, and sharing fingers ready!

Sweet Potato Casserole with Pecan Streusel

prep time: 20 Mcook time: 1 H & 20 Mtotal time: 1 H & 40 M

This custard like sweet potato casserole topped with a delicious pecan streusel is sure to become the new family favorite at your holiday table.

ingredients:

• 1 c. brown sugar
• 1/2 c. pecan pieces, I used Millican 
• 1/2 stick butter, cut into small dice
• 5-6 sweet potatoes, peeled 
• 4 eggs
• 3 T. maple syrup
• 2 T. vanilla
• 1 T. lemon juice
• salt to taste

instructions:

How to cook Sweet Potato Casserole with Pecan Streusel

1. Combine the sugar, pecans and butter in a small bowl.  Refrigerate until ready to use.
2. Cut the potatoes into chunks and place in a pot of boiling, salted water.  Cook until easily pierced with a fork.  Drain into a colander and let stand until they dry and cool a bit.
3. Transfer the partially cooled sweet potatoes to a food processor and puree until smooth.  Open the processor and let cool some more.
4. In large bowl of stand mixer, fitted with the paddle attachment, beat the eggs, syrup, vanilla, lemon juice and salt, until well combined.  Add the potatoes, a little at a time at first so as to not scramble the eggs, and beat well.  Continue adding the potato puree until fully incorporated. Turn into a 9x13" pan that has been treated with cooking spray and smooth the top with a spatula.
5. Sprinkle the pecan topping over the potatoes and bake in a preheated 350* oven for about an hour, until bubbly and golden brown on top.  Let stand for 15 minutes before serving.
