• 1 cup brown sugar, packed
• 2 eggs
• 1 teaspoon vanilla
• 1/2 cup milk
• 1/2 cup melted butter

Topping:

• 1/2 cup brown sugar
• 1/3 cup flour

Heat the oven to 350 F.  Butter a 2-quart casserole or baking dish.

In a large bowl combine the mashed sweet potatoes with 1 cup of brown sugar, eggs, vanilla, milk, and 1/2 cup of melted butter. Blend thoroughly; spoon the mixture into the prepared baking dish.

In another bowl combine the 1/2 cup of brown sugar, flour, 1/3 cup of melted butter, and the chopped pecans; blend well. Sprinkle the pecan mixture over the top of the sweet potato mixture.

Bake the casserole for 35-40 minutes, until the filling is hot and the topping has browned.
