5. Transfer to Baking Dish: Pour the sweet potato mixture into a greased 9×13 inch baking dish, spreading it evenly.
6. Prepare Topping: In a bowl, mix brown sugar, flour, and melted butter to form a crumbly mixture. Stir in chopped pecans and mix well.

8. Bake in Oven: Place the casserole in the preheated oven and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until heated through and the topping is golden brown.
9. Cool: Remove from oven and allow resting for a few minutes before serving.
10. Garnish (Optional): Sprinkle additional pecans or marshmallows on top before serving for an enticing look.
