Thanksgiving Sweet Potatoes

Ingredients
6 sweet potatoes
1 cup sugar
1/2 cup milk
1/2 cup melted butter
1 tsp. vanilla
2 eggs, beaten
1/2 tsp salt

Topping
1 cup dark brown sugar
1/3 cup flour
1/3 cup melted butter
1 cup chopped pecans

Instructions
Cook potatoes until soft (we usually bake them at 250 for 3-4 hours). Remove skins. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease or butter one 2 quart casserole dish. Place potatoes in mixing bowl and with an electric mixer beat on low until broken up. Increase speed to high until smooth. Reduce speed to low and add sugar, milk, butter, vanilla, eggs, and salt. Mix well. Pour sweet potato mixture into dish.

Prepare topping in a small bowl by whisking together the brown sugar, flour, butter, and pecans. Sprinkle mixture over potato mixture and bake for 40 minutes.
