Ingredients

Scale

Sweet Potato Mixture

  • 2 (29-ounce) cans sweet potatoes
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
  • 2 tablespoons sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 2-1/2 tablespoons light brown sugar, lightly packed
  • 1 tablespoon orange juice
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1-1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup evaporated milk

Topping

  • 3/4 cup chopped pecans (measured after chopping)
  • 1/2 cup light brown sugar, lightly packed
  • 1/2 cup flour
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

Instructions

  1. Prepare the sweet potato mixture: Drain the canned sweet potatoes and place them in a large mixing bowl. Add softened butter, sugar, salt, light brown sugar, orange juice, eggs, vanilla extract, and evaporated milk. Use a hand mixer or stand mixer to blend everything together until smooth and creamy.
  2. Prepare the topping: In a separate bowl, combine the chopped pecans, light brown sugar, flour, vanilla extract, softened butter, and salt. Mix thoroughly with a fork or your fingers to create a crumbly topping.
  3. Assemble in the crockpot: Grease the inside of your crockpot to prevent sticking. Pour the sweet potato mixture evenly into the crockpot. Sprinkle the pecan topping evenly over the sweet potato mixture to cover the surface.
  4. Cook: Cover the crockpot and cook on low heat for approximately 3 to 4 hours. Check doneness by gently shaking the crockpot or inserting a toothpick into the sweet potatoes; the casserole should be set but still moist.
  5. Serve: Once cooked, turn off the crockpot and allow the casserole to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy this sweet and nutty dish warm as a side or dessert.

Notes

  • Note 1: Using canned sweet potatoes saves preparation time; however, fresh sweet potatoes can be used if peeled, cooked, and mashed beforehand.
  • Note 2: Evaporated milk adds creaminess without extra sweetness; you can substitute with regular milk but consistency may vary.
  • This recipe is perfect for a hassle-free holiday side or dessert that doesn’t require oven usage.
  • Ensure the crockpot is greased well to avoid sticking of the topping.
