Easy Sweet Potato Casserole image

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.

Time 55m

Yield 8-10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

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
2 large eggs
1 1/4 teaspoons vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 1/4 cups firmly packed brown sugar
1 1/4 cups finely chopped pecans
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1/3 cup butter, melted
1 (16 ounce) bag mini marshmallows

Steps:

  • Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees.
  • Beat sweet potatoes, reserved syrup, and next 6 ingredients at medium speed with an electric mixer until smooth.
  • Spoon potato mixture into a lightly greased 13- x 9-inch baking dish.
  • Combine 1 1/4 cups brown sugar and next 3 ingredients with a fork.
  • Sprinkle evenly over top of sweet potato mixture.
  • Bake uncovered at 350° for 30 to 35 minutes.
  • 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.
