Yummy Sweet Potato Casserole

Oh, my!  This was so delicious!  No wonder it has 1800 5-star reviews on allrecipes.com!!  I made this for Thanksgiving.  It's so tasty, and I don't even really like sweet potatoes!!

 
 
8 cups sweet potato,peeled & cubed
1 cup white sugar
4 eggs, beaten
1 teaspoon salt
8 tablespoons butter, softened
1 cup evaporated milk
 
 
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
 
Topping: 
1/2 cup packed brown sugar
1/3 cup all-purpose flour
3 tablespoons butter, softened
1/2 cup chopped pecans
Directions:
1.Preheat oven to 325 degrees.  Steam cubed sweet potatoes (I used 1 yam, 1 sweet potato) on stovetop for 20 min, until fork tender.  Mash with fork.
2.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.
3.In medium bowl, mix the brown sugar and flour. Cut in the butter until the mixture is coarse. Stir in the pecans. Sprinkle the mixture over the sweet potato mixture.
4.Bake in the preheated oven 30 minutes, or until the topping is lightly brown.

J wanted me to make more topping, but I thought it was great the way is was. :)  Seriously, call me if something doesn't make sense.  I adapted it from the recipe. :)
