Ingredients

Instructions

  1. 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.
  1. 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.
  1. 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.
  1. 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.
  1. 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!
