For the Casserole
  • 2 cans (29 ounce) sweet potatoes, drained
  • 1/3 cup butter, melted
  • 2 tablespoons white sugar

  • 1/3 cup brown sugar for topping
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons butter, melted for topping

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Lightly grease your slow cooker to prevent sticking.
  2. In a large bowl, place the drained sweet potatoes and mash them with a potato masher until smooth.
  3. Mix in the melted butter along with both types of sugar until well combined.
  4. Stir in the milk, beaten eggs, and orange juice until everything is well integrated.
  5. Transfer the sweet potato mixture into the prepared slow cooker, spreading it evenly.
  6. In a small bowl, combine the chopped pecans, brown sugar, flour, and melted butter to create the topping.
  7. Spread the topping evenly over the sweet potato mixture in the slow cooker.
Cooking
  1. Cover the slow cooker and cook on High for 3 to 4 hours, until everything is heated through and the topping is golden brown.

Notes

Allow the casserole to cool slightly before serving for the flavors to meld beautifully. Store leftovers in an airtight container and refrigerate for up to 4 days, or freeze for up to three months.
