For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg to the sweet potato mixture. To make ahead, prepare the casserole up to the baking step and store it covered in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours. Add about 10-15 minutes to the baking time if baking from cold. If you prefer a smoother texture, you can use an electric mixer to combine the sweet potato mixture. To toast the pecans for deeper flavor, spread them on a baking sheet and bake at 350°F (175°C) for 5-7 minutes, or until fragrant.
