This recipe only requires a couple of ingredients; you probably already have most of them in your pantry. You will need sweet potatoes, eggs, sugar, butter, vanilla extract, raisins, brown sugar, flour, butter, and pecans. It comes together easily and quickly. Serve it with green bean casserole, glazed baked ham, mac and cheese, or deviled eggs.
Easy Sweet Potato Casserole Dish Ingredients
- 4 1/2 lbs sweet potatoes (6 cups mashed)
- 3 large eggs
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 5 tablespoons of butter (melted and slightly cooled)
- 1/2 tablespoon of vanilla extract

- 3 tablespoons of cold unsalted butter (diced)

How to Make Sweet Potato Casserole Dish
Step 1:
Peel the sweet potatoes, chop them into 1″ pieces, then add to a large pot. Fill it with water until the potatoes are submerged, then bring it to a boil. Cook uncovered at a medium/low boil for about 10 to 15 minutes. They should be easily pierced with a fork. Drain, then mash the potatoes with an electric mixer.
Step 2:
Preheat your oven to 350F.
Step 3:
In a large bowl, add 3 eggs, 1/2 cup of sugar, 6 tablespoons of melted butter, and 1/2 tablespoon of vanilla. Whisk until well combined.
Step 4:
Add the butter mixture to the mashed sweet potatoes and stir until well combined. Add 1 cup raisins and mix until incorporated. Spread the mixture evenly into a 9 x 13 casserole dish.
Step 5:
In a small bowl, add 2/3 cup brown sugar and 1/3 cup of flour. Mix to combine. Add butter then rub the mixture together using your hands until pea-sized crumbs form. Add 1 cup of chopped pecans, then stir to combine.
Step 6:
Sprinkle the pecan crumble topping over sweet potatoes and bake at 350F uncovered for 35 to 40 minutes.
