Sweet Potato Casserole with Marshmallows Tasty Treat

Ingredients

• 4 large sweet potatoes, peeled and cubed
• 0.5 cup brown sugar
• 0.25 cup milk
• 0.25 cup unsalted butter, softened
• 2 large eggs
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 0.5 teaspoon ground nutmeg
• 0.25 teaspoon salt
• 2 cups mini marshmallows
• 0.5 cup chopped pecans (optional)

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x13 inch baking dish with butter or non-stick spray.
2. In a large pot, bring water to a boil. Add the cubed sweet potatoes and cook until they are fork-tender, about 15-20 minutes. Drain and let cool slightly.
3. In a large mixing bowl, mash the sweet potatoes until smooth. Add the brown sugar, milk, softened butter, eggs, vanilla extract, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt to the mashed sweet potatoes. Mix well until fully combined and creamy.
4. Pour the sweet potato mixture into the prepared baking dish and spread it evenly.
5. Bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes.
6. Remove from the oven and sprinkle the mini marshmallows evenly on top of the casserole. If using, add the chopped pecans for added crunch.
7. Return the casserole to the oven and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the marshmallows are golden brown and slightly toasted.
8. Let the casserole cool for a few minutes before serving.
