Baked potatoes really bring out the flavor for this casserole! To bake the sweet potatoes preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Grab your sweet potatoes and pierce them with a fork a few times. Place the sweet potatoes on a cookie sheet and bake for 90 minutes. Remove from the oven. Hold the sweet potatoes with a potholder (they're hot) and the potato will pop right out of it's skin. Discard the skin. Use a potato masher or hand mixer to mash the sweet potatoes.
Turn down your oven to 325 degrees, the temperature we need for the casseroles.
In a large bowl mix sweet potatoes, sugar, egg, salt, butter, evaporated milk, vanilla, cinnamon, cloves and nutmeg.
Spray a 9x13 pan with nonstick spray. Pour sweet potato mixture into the pan, using a spatula to even it out.
In a small bowl mix brown sugar and flour. Add room temperature butter and mix until you have a crumbly topping. Add pecans and stir. Sprinkle this mixture on top of the casserole.
Bake for 30 minutes. Remove from oven and let cool for 5 minutes before serving.
