Ruth's Chris Sweet Potato Casserole

If you have ever been to Ruth's Chris and not ordered their sweet potatoes with a pecan crust, you are out of your mind, they so so good and so sweet they could honestly be a dessert, honestly, they are great well I recently read a press release form a couple years ago from Ruth's Chris giving out their recipe, I was just looking for a copycat but here is the real deal. You will not be disappointed!

CRUST
1 cup brown sugar
1/3 cup flour
1 cup chopped nuts (pecans preferred)
1/3 stick butter -- melted
SWEET POTATO MIXTURE
3 cups mashed sweet potatoes
1 cup sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon vanilla
2 eggs -- well beaten
1 stick butter -- ( 1/2 cup) melted
Combine brown sugar, flour, nuts and butter in mixing bowl. Set aside.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Combine sweet potatoes, sugar, salt, vanilla, eggs and butter in a mixing bowl in the order listed. Mix thoroughly. Pour mixture into buttered baking dish. Sprinkle the surface of the sweet potato mixture evenly with the crust mixture. Bake for 30 minutes. Allow to set at least 30 minutes before serving.
