This is one of my favorite holiday recipes!
My mom always made it, but it has now become my personal contribution to Thanksgiving and Christmas dinner. I made it today because we are celebrating Christmas tonight with my parents and brother and his family.
It's very easy to make. Here is the list of ingredients.

Filling
2 Eggs - beaten
3 cups Sweet Potato (4-5 potatoes)
1 cup Sugar
1/2 cup Milk
1/2 stick Butter
1/2 teaspoon Salt
1 teaspoon Vanilla
Topping
1 cup Brown Sugar
1/2 stick Butter
1/2 cup Flour
1 cup Chopped Nuts
The first thing that I do is bake my sweet potatoes. I used 5 this time because they were small. I bake them on 400 for 1 hour. I often bake them the night before. I guess it just depends how much time you have the day you're making it.
To make the filling, you just mix all of the ingredients together. I use softened butter but I don't worry about it being completely melted. It melts when it's cooked.
For the topping, you also just mix everything together. I do melt the butter for this because it makes it easier to mix.
Place the filling in a baking dish and pour the topping over it. I used a 2 1/2 quart dish.
Then bake it for 35 minutes on 350.
Enjoy!
