Awesome Sweet Potato Casserole

Description

Diane Thornton gave me this awesome sweet potato casserole recipe in the late 1980s in Jackson, Mississippi. I have made it each year since, and when I bring it to gatherings, people rave about it, so I bring it year after year. Some people say it's more like a dessert than a side dish. All I know is it's a standby for me and always gets a nod.

Ingredient:

  • 3 cups cooked mashed sweet potatoes
  • 1 cup white sugar
  • 1 (8 ounce) can crushed pineapple, drained
  • ½ (14 ounce) bag flaked coconut, or more to taste
  • ½ cup unsalted butter, melted
  • ⅓ cup milk
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup firmly packed brown sugar
  • 1 cup finely chopped pecans
  • ⅓ cup all-purpose flour
  • ⅓ cup unsalted butter, melted
