To Make the Casserole

  • Preheat oven to 425°. Grease a 13x9 glass baking dish with butter.
  • Heat the sweet potatoes (do not drain) in a pot until boiling. Remove from heat and use a strainer to drain any liquid.
  • Add all casserole ingredients into a bowl and beat with an electric or stand mixer until smooth. Spread in the glass dish and bake for 20 minutes.

Topping Instructions

  • Pour cereal, brown sugar and pecans into a gallon size Ziplock bag. Use a blunt object (rolling pins work great) to crush up the ingredients. Set aside until casserole is almost done.
  • Add melted butter to topping mix and shake thoroughly to moisten topping. Remove casserole from oven and reduce the heat to 400°. Spread topping over casserole and continue baking for 15 minutes.
