For an extra layer of flavor, try adding a teaspoon of vanilla extract to the yam mixture. To prevent the pecan topping from burning, you can tent the casserole with foil during the last 10-15 minutes of baking. This casserole can be prepared ahead of time. Assemble the casserole and store it in the refrigerator until ready to bake. Add about 10-15 minutes to the baking time if baking from cold. Serve warm with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an extra special treat.
