Notes
- Make sure to drain the canned yams thoroughly and let them sit in a mesh sieve or colander for 10 to 15 minutes before mixing the filling. They may release additional moisture as the casserole cooks.
- Slow cooker pecan streusel is soft and buttery rather than crisp like oven-baked streusel. For a crisper topping, check the slow cooker manufacturer’s instructions. Remove the lid and any disposable liner, then place the oven-safe insert in a 350°F oven for a few minutes. Don’t use the broiler.
- The filling can be doubled in a 6- or 7-quart slow cooker. Keep the topping amounts as written.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 3 to 4 days. Reheat individual servings in the microwave or place the casserole in a 350°F oven until warmed through.
