This is a mixed-and-matched version of sweet potato casserole. If you're looking for a new pie recipe for Thanksgiving, I highly recommend you give this one a try! You will need 1 1/2 cups of mashed and cooked sweet potatoes for this recipe. You can either bake up two sweet potatoes and use the filling or you can mash up some canned sweet potatoes, drained.

Streusel-Topped Sweet Potato Pie

Ingredients (for the pie)

1 1/2 cups mashed sweet potato

1/2 cup brown sugar

1 (14 ounce) can sweetened condensed milk

3 eggs

1/2 tablespoon pumpkin pie spice

1 uncooked pie shell (either homemade or from the refrigerator section)

Ingredients (for the streusel)

1/4 cup brown sugar

2 tablespoons flour

2 tablespoons butter, slightly softened and cut into pieces

1 teaspoon cinnamon

1/2 cup pecan pieces

Directions

In a small bowl, combine all of the streusel ingredients. The consistency will be crumbly. When it's time, sprinkle the topping over the top of the pie and continue baking.

Preheat oven to 425 degrees.

In a large mixing bowl, beat with an electric mixer the first five pie ingredients until smooth. Pour mixture into pie shell and bake at 425 degrees for 15 minutes, then reduce heat to 350 degrees and bake another 20 minutes. Add streusel topping and bake another 15 minutes. Remove from oven and allow to cool at least 30 minutes before slicing and serving.

You can also substitute pumpkin instead of sweet potato, if you like. Check out this clip from my appearance on the TODAY show with Hoda and Kathie Lee:
