Ruth’s Chris Sweet Potato Casserole is a rich, creamy side dish made with fluffy mashed sweet potatoes and topped with a buttery brown sugar pecan crumble. It’s the perfect combination of sweet and savory, ideal for holiday dinners or any special occasion.

Ingredients

  • 3 cups mashed sweet potatoes (about 3–4 medium sweet potatoes, peeled and boiled)
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup melted butter
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • 1/3 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup chopped pecans
  • 1/3 cup melted butter (for topping)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
  2. Mash the cooked sweet potatoes until smooth using a hand mixer or potato masher.
  3. Add granulated sugar, eggs, 1/2 cup melted butter, vanilla extract, and salt. Mix until fully combined and fluffy.
  4. Pour the sweet potato mixture into the prepared baking dish and smooth the top.
  5. In a separate bowl, combine brown sugar, flour, chopped pecans, and 1/3 cup melted butter until crumbly.
  6. Sprinkle the topping evenly over the sweet potato mixture.
  7. Bake for 30–35 minutes until the topping is golden and the center is set.
  8. Let cool slightly before serving to allow flavors to settle.

Notes

  • Reduce sugar in the base if a less sweet version is preferred.
  • Add cinnamon or nutmeg for a warm, spiced twist.
  • For nut-free topping, replace pecans with oats and extra flour.
  • Can be made in ramekins for individual servings.
  • Prep sweet potato base and topping ahead, then assemble and bake the next day.
