Directions

  1. 1

    Peel and cut the sweet potatoes into large chunks and place them into a large sauce pan. Cover them with with water and bring it to a boil.

  2. 2

    Boil they sweet potatoes until they are fork tender and easily pierced with a fork. They should fall apart easily.

  3. 3

    Drain the sweet potatoes and add them back to the sauce pan. Add the stick of butter and mash them with a potato masher. The butter will melt from the heat of the sweet potatoes. Add the rest of the sweet potato filling ingredients: brown sugar, salt, cinnamon, vanilla extract, and nutmeg and mix until well combined.

    In a separate bowl, make the pecan topping. Stir together the melted butter, brown sugar, all purpose flour, salt, and pecan pieces until combined.

  5. 5

    Grease a 9 by 13 baking dish with cooking spray.

  6. 6

    Add the sweet potato filling and spread it out evenly.

  7. 7

    Spread the pecan topping evenly over the top of the sweet potatoes.

  8. 8

    Add the mini marshmallows over the top in an even layer.

  9. 9

    Bake the sweet potato casserole at 350 degrees for 25-35 minutes, or until bubbly and the marshmallows are golden brown on top. Watch closely towards the end to get the perfect golden brown without burning.
