Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

- Transfer the sweet potato mixture into a greased 9x13-inch baking dish, spreading it out evenly.
- In a separate bowl, prepare the topping by mixing together the brown sugar, flour, softened butter, and chopped pecans (if using) until the mixture forms a crumbly texture.
- Sprinkle the topping evenly over the sweet potato filling in the baking dish.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 45 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the filling is set.
- Remove the sweet potato casserole from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before serving.
