Here’s the full step-by-step guide to making Grubby's *Sweet Potato Casserole* with streusel topping:
Preparation:
1. **Bake the Sweet Potatoes**: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Place 4-5 large sweet potatoes on a baking sheet and bake for 1 to 1.5 hours, until they’re very soft. Let them cool slightly before handling.
2. **Peel and Mash**: Once the sweet potatoes are cool enough to handle, peel off the skins. Place the peeled sweet potatoes in a mixing bowl.
3. *Mash Ingredients**: Add **2-3 tablespoons of butter**, **1/4 cup brown sugar**, **1 teaspoon vanilla extract* (optional), and *1/2 teaspoon cinnamon* (optional) to the sweet potatoes. Mash everything together until smooth and creamy. Adjust sweetness and spice to your taste.
4. **Prepare Baking Dish**: Lightly grease a casserole or baking dish (you can use a cast iron skillet if preferred) with non-stick spray or butter.
Making the Streusel Topping:
5. **Combine Topping Ingredients**: In a separate mixing bowl, combine:
*2 cups brown sugar*
*1/2 cup all-purpose flour*
*1 cup chopped walnuts* (or pecans)
**1/2 stick butter (4 tablespoons)**, melted
*1/2 teaspoon cinnamon* (optional)
6. **Mix the Streusel**: Use your hands or a fork to mix the streusel until it becomes crumbly and holds together in small clumps.
Assemble and Bake:
7. **Add Sweet Potato Base**: Spread the mashed sweet potato mixture evenly in your greased baking dish.
8. **Add Streusel Topping**: Sprinkle the streusel mixture evenly over the top of the sweet potatoes, covering the surface.
9. **Bake the Casserole**: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Bake the casserole for 20-25 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and crispy.
10. **Cool and Serve**: Remove from the oven and let it cool for 10-15 minutes before serving. This allows the flavors to meld and makes it easier to serve.
