How to Make Sweet Potato Casserole

Sweet Potato Mixture

  1. Step 1

    Preheat oven to 400°F and line a large rimmed baking sheet with aluminum foil. Using a fork, pierce the skin of each sweet potato about 10 times. Place on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 45 to 50 minutes, until fork tender. Remove from oven and cool to room temperature.

  2. Step 2

    Slice the sweet potatoes open, remove from the flesh and place in a large mixing bowl; discard the skins. Using a potato masher, mash the sweet potatoes until completely smooth.

  3. Step 3

    Heat oven to 350°F. Add all of the ingredients to the bowl with the mashed sweet potatoes and mix until just combined. Using a hand mixer, beat the sweet potato mixture on high for 3 to 4 minutes for a fluffier consistency. Lightly spray a 2-quart baking dish with nonstick cooking spray and pour the sweet potato mixture into the dish, spreading into an even layer using a spatula. Bake for 25 minutes.

Crust

  1. Step 1

    While the sweet potatoes bake, make the crust. In a small mixing bowl, combine all of the ingredients and mix until well combined and crumbly.

  2. Step 2

    Remove the sweet potatoes from the oven and sprinkle topping over the sweet potatoes. Return to the oven and bake for 15 to 20 minutes, until crust is browned. Remove from oven and allow to rest for at least 20 to 30 minutes before serving.
