For a richer flavor, use dark brown sugar instead of light brown sugar. To enhance the nutty flavor, toast the pecan halves in a dry skillet over medium heat for 3-5 minutes before using. The casserole can be assembled ahead of time and refrigerated for up to 24 hours before baking. Add 10 minutes to the baking time if baking from cold. For a smoother texture, use an electric mixer instead of a potato masher to mash the yams. This casserole freezes well without the pecan topping. Prepare the yam mixture and freeze it in an airtight container. Thaw completely before topping with pecans and baking as directed.
