For a richer flavor, use brown butter instead of melted butter in both the sweet potato mixture and the topping. Add a pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg to the sweet potato mixture for extra warmth. If you don't have pecans, walnuts or almonds can be used in the topping. To prevent the topping from burning, especially when cooking on High, place a layer of parchment paper between the slow cooker and the lid. Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in the microwave or oven.

Sep 14, 2022My topping was a bit too brown, so I'll try the parchment paper trick next time.
