Step-by-Step Instructions for Sweet Potato Cobbler With Cake Mix

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Drain half the liquid from the canned sweet potatoes and pour them into a baking dish. Cut the potatoes into small, even pieces.
Sprinkle the pumpkin spice and pour the vanilla extract over the diced sweet potatoes. Mix gently to coat well.
In a mixing bowl, combine the butter pecan cake mix and softened butter. Mix until a soft, crumbly dough forms.
Clump the cake mixture over the seasoned sweet potatoes and spread gently. It's okay if it doesn't cover completely.
Bake in the preheated oven for about 50 minutes or until the top is golden brown and filling bubbles up around the edges.
Let the cobbler cool for a few minutes before serving warm.
