Ingredients

For the Filling:

  • 3 cups sweet potatoes, peeled, cooked, and mashed

  • ¾ cup sugar

  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

  • 1 cup unsweetened shredded coconut​

For the Topping:

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a baking dish.​

  4. Assemble Casserole: Pour the sweet potato mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly.​

  5. Prepare Topping: In a separate bowl, mix together the brown sugar, melted butter, and chopped nuts until crumbly. Sprinkle this mixture evenly over the sweet potato layer.​

  6. Bake: Place the casserole in the preheated oven and bake for 25 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the casserole is heated through.​

  7. Serve: Allow the casserole to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy this comforting dish as a side to your favorite meals!​
