Cook the Sweet Potatoes
Boil the sweet potatoes in salted water until tender (about 15 minutes), then drain and mash.

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!
