Ingredients
This delicious sweet potato casserole is a great way to warm up on a chilly day. It’s easy to make and will please even the pickiest eaters. To make this dish, you’ll need four large sweet potatoes, one cup of brown sugar, one cup of melted butter, one teaspoon of vanilla extract, one cup of chopped pecans, and one cup of mini-marshmallows. You’ll also need a 9x13 inch baking dish.
Preparing the Sweet Potatoes
The first step in making this delicious casserole is to peel and cube the sweet potatoes. Once you’ve done that, place them in a pot of boiling water and let them cook for about 20 minutes. When they’re finished, drain the sweet potatoes and mash them with a potato masher. Once you’ve done that, add the butter, sugar, and vanilla, and mix until everything is thoroughly combined. Once that’s done, pour the sweet potato mixture into the baking dish.
Topping the Casserole
Next, sprinkle the chopped pecans on top of the sweet potato mixture. Then, spread the mini-marshmallows over the top. Make sure to cover the entire top of the casserole. Once you’ve done that, place the baking dish in a preheated 350 degree oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the top is golden brown. Remove from the oven and let cool before serving.
Serving the Casserole

Tips
If you’d like to add a bit of extra flavor to the casserole, try adding a teaspoon of cinnamon or nutmeg to the sweet potato mixture before baking. You can also add a bit of spice by adding a pinch of cayenne pepper. If you’d like to make the casserole a bit sweeter, you can increase the amount of brown sugar to 1 1/2 cups. You can also use white sugar instead of brown if you prefer.
Variations
For a different twist, try adding apples or raisins to the sweet potato mixture before baking. You can also try adding different types of nuts, such as walnuts or almonds. If you’d like to make the casserole a bit healthier, you can use olive oil or coconut oil instead of butter, and use maple syrup instead of sugar. If you’d like to make it extra special, try adding a layer of melted chocolate chips before baking.
