Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).

Peel and cube 3 lbs of sweet potatoes into 1-inch chunks.

Transfer sweet potatoes to a large pot and cover with water by 1 inch.

Add 1 tablespoon of salt to the water and bring to a boil over high heat.

Reduce heat to medium-high and cook for 15-20 minutes until fork tender.

Drain the sweet potatoes and optionally return them to medium heat to evaporate excess water.

Mash the sweet potatoes with a masher or large fork until smooth.

Add 1/4 cup brown sugar, 1/4 cup butter, 1/4 cup milk, 1 and 1/4 teaspoons salt, 2 large eggs, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract to the mashed sweet potatoes and mix until combined.

Transfer the mixture to a buttered 9x13-inch casserole dish and spread evenly.

In a medium bowl, mix 1 cup brown sugar, 1/4 cup all-purpose flour, and 1 teaspoon cinnamon together.

Stir in 1/4 cup melted and cooled butter and chopped pecans to form a crumble topping.

Evenly sprinkle the crumble topping over the sweet potato mixture in the casserole dish.

Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes until heated through and topping is golden brown.
