Instructions
Step 1: Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). It’s time to get cozy!
Step 2: Boil Sweet Potatoes
Boil the peeled and cubed sweet potatoes until they’re fork-tender, which will take about 15-20 minutes. Drain and let them cool slightly.
Step 3: Mash the Sweet Potatoes
In a large bowl, mash the sweet potatoes. Stir in granulated sugar, milk, melted butter, vanilla extract, salt, and beat in the eggs until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
Step 4: Prepare the Baking Dish
Spread the sweet potato mixture evenly into a greased baking dish.
Step 5: Make the Topping
In a separate bowl, combine the brown sugar, all-purpose flour, and softened butter. Mix until it forms a crumbly texture. Then, stir in the chopped pecans.
Step 6: Add the Topping
Sprinkle the crumbly topping mixture evenly over the sweet potatoes. For the grand finale, arrange the mini marshmallows on top!
Step 7: Bake
Bake in the preheated oven for about 25 minutes. The dish is ready when the marshmallows are golden and fluffy.
Step 8: Cool Before Serving
Allow the casserole to cool slightly before serving, ensuring everyone gets a perfect bite!
Notes
Tip 1: Sweet Potato Selection
Choose sweet potatoes that are firm and blemish-free for the best texture.
Tip 2: Extra Marshmallow Height
If you prefer more marshmallows, feel free to add an extra cup for an even sweeter topping.
Tip 3: Pecan Substitutes
If you don’t have pecans, walnuts or almonds can be used as alternatives in the topping.
