Materials

  • 2 lbs. sweet potatoes baked until flesh is tender - instructions on baking your sweet potato are below
  • ¾ cup sugar
  • 1 8 oz. crushed pineapple drained
  • 2 large eggs beaten
  • ½ cup sour cream
  • ½ tsp. orange peel grated
  • ¼ cup orange juice
  • ¼ cup melted butter
  • 1 tsp. vanilla extract

Topping

  • 1 cup flaked coconut
  • 1 cup chopped pecans
  • 1 cup brown sugar - packed
  • ½ cup all-purpose flour
  • ¼ cup melted butter

Instructions

Baking your sweet potatoes:

  • I like to cut a slit in the top of my potatoes
  • Place them on a baking sheet
  • Bake at 425 degrees for about 45 minutes or until potato is tender
  • To check this, insert a fork. If the fork easily goes all the way through the flesh, it's probably tender enough

Casserole Filling: 

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees
  • Cool baked sweet potatoes, slice open and scoop out the sweet potato
  • Transfer scooped out sweet potato to a large bowl
  • Mash the sweet potatoes and add the rest of the ingredients

Topping

  • Mix the topping ingredients together until crumbly
  • Place the casserole mixture into a greased 13x9 baking dish, and sprinkle the topping mixture over the top.
  • Bake for about 40 minutes

Notes

*If you purchase cubed sweet potato that's already peeled and cubed for you, you can boil the sweet potato cubes to soften them instead of baking them.
Crumb Topping:
About mid-way through baking and occasionally from there, check on your crumb topping. If it is getting too brown, cover the top with foil and continue to bake.
