Easy Sweet Potato Casserole

Recipe #266844 | 55 min | 10 min prep | SERVES 8 -10 (Change Servings)

RECIPE BY: Stacky5

This is a Southern Living recipe that we really enjoy. I've tweaked it just a bit, only to add our beloved mini marshmallows. But my kids (who don't usually like sweet potatoes) scarf this one down! This is pretty sweet, and that's the way we like it.

Ingredients

  • 3 (40 ounce) cans cut sweet potatoes in syrup, drained (I keep about 1/8 cup of the syrup from 1 can)
  • 1 1/4 cups granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup butter, softened
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • large egg
  • 1 1/4 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 1/4 cups firmly packed brown sugar
  • 1 1/4 cups finely chopped pecan
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/3 cup butter, melted
  • 1 (16 ounce) bag mini marshmallows
  • Directions

    1. 1
      Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees.
    2. 2
      Beat sweet potatoes, reserved syrup, and next 6 ingredients at medium speed with an electric mixer until smooth.
    3. 3
      Spoon potato mixture into a lightly greased 13- x 9-inch baking dish.
    4. 4
      Combine 1 1/4 cups brown sugar and next 3 ingredients with a fork.
    5. 5
      Sprinkle evenly over top of sweet potato mixture.

      Take out of oven, scatter marshmallows evenly on top, slightly pushing down to steady them, and bake for additional 10-12 minutes, or just until marshmallows are lightly golden on top.
