While the potatoes are cooking, combine the remaining 1/2 cup brown sugar, flour and butter in a bowl and use a fork or pastry cutter and mix until the mixture is crumbly. Stir in the chopped pecans.

Spoon the sweet potato mixture into a 9 x 13-inch baking dish or a 3-quart shallow casserole dish. Sprinkle topping evenly over the sweet potato mixture.
