Sweet Potato Casserole with Marshmallows Delight
Ingredients
- 4 medium sweet potatoes, peeled and cubed
- 0.5 cup brown sugar
- 0.25 cup granulated sugar
- 0.5 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 0.5 cup milk
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon nutmeg
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 2 cups mini marshmallows
- 0.5 cup chopped pecans (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.
- Place the cubed sweet potatoes in a large pot of boiling water. Cook for about 15-20 minutes or until tender. Drain well and let cool slightly.
- In a large mixing bowl, mash the sweet potatoes until smooth.
- Add the brown sugar, granulated sugar, melted butter, milk, eggs, vanilla extract, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt to the mashed sweet potatoes. Mix until everything is well combined and creamy.
- Pour the sweet potato mixture into the greased baking dish and smooth the top with a spatula.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the casserole is set and slightly golden around the edges.
- Remove the casserole from the oven and sprinkle the mini marshmallows evenly across the top.
- Return the casserole to the oven and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, until the marshmallows are toasted and golden brown.
- If using, sprinkle the chopped pecans on top in the last 5 minutes of baking for added crunch and flavor.
- Allow the casserole to cool for a few minutes before serving.
💡 Chef's Notes
Serve the casserole in the baking dish and use a large serving spoon for easy serving. Drizzle with a little more melted butter and sprinkle cinnamon on top for an extra touch before serving.
