Ruth Chris Sweet Potato Casserole 🍠

Step 3: Prepare the Casserole Dish

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
2. Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish with butter or nonstick spray.
3. Spoon the mashed sweet potato mixture into the dish and spread evenly.

Step 4: Make the Pecan Topping

1. In a medium bowl, combine brown sugar, flour, melted butter, and chopped pecans.
2. Mix with a fork or spatula until the mixture is crumbly and evenly coated.
3. Sprinkle the topping evenly over the sweet potato layer, covering every corner.

Step 5: Bake to Perfection

1. Place the casserole in the preheated oven.
2. Bake for 30–35 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and slightly crisp.
3. Remove from oven and let it cool for 5–10 minutes before serving. This allows the flavors to meld and the topping to firm slightly.

Step 6: Serve and Enjoy

• Scoop generous portions onto plates, ensuring each serving has both creamy sweet potato and crunchy topping.
• Optional: garnish with a few extra pecans or a light drizzle of melted butter for extra richness.

Tips for the Perfect Ruth Chris Sweet Potato Casserole

1. Use fresh sweet potatoes for the best flavor. Canned can work in a pinch but may alter texture.
2. Don’t overmix the topping—you want it crumbly, not doughy.
3. Make ahead: The sweet potato base can be prepared a day in advance; just add the topping and bake before serving.
4. Flavor variations: Add a pinch of nutmeg or a splash of maple syrup for extra warmth and sweetness.
