Ingredients
Instructions
Cook the Sweet Potatoes
Boil the sweet potatoes in salted water until tender (about 15 minutes), then drain and mash.
Tip: Mashing the potatoes while warm gives a smoother texture.
Mix the Ingredients
Combine the mashed sweet potatoes with brown sugar, melted butter, milk, cinnamon, nutmeg and vanilla extract.
Tip: Adjust the sweetness to taste by adding more brown sugar if desired.
Spread the Mixture
Transfer the sweet potato mixture to a greased 9×13-inch baking dish, spreading it evenly.
Tip: Smooth the top for even marshmallow coverage later.
Add the Toppings
Sprinkle mini marshmallows and chopped pecans over the top.
Tip: For an extra crunch, toast the pecans in a dry skillet before adding.
Bake the Casserole
Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 20-25 minutes until the marshmallows are golden and melted.
Tip: Let the casserole cool slightly before serving to avoid burning your mouth on hot marshmallows!
