SWEET POTATO CASSEROLE WITH MARSHMALLOWS AND STREUSEL

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375°F. Grease a 2 or 2 1/2 quart casserole dish (preferably a rectangle or oval so there's a decent surface area for the topping; I use an 8x11) and set aside.
• Place the sweet potatoes in a large pot, cover with water, and boil until tender (about 7 minutes, depending on the size). Drain really well and return to the pot. Add butter, milk, cinnamon, brown sugar and salt to the potatoes and mash until smooth. Use a hand mixer, if desired, to make them extra smooth. Taste the potatoes and add additional seasonings, if desired.
• Transfer the mashed potatoes to the prepared casserole dish. Place in the oven until heated through (if they're already warm it will only take a few minutes). While the sweet potatoes are heating, prepare the topping.
• In a medium bowl, combine butter, brown sugar, flour, cinnamon and salt (I use a fork or rubber spatula to stir and mash the mixture), then mix in pecans.
• Remove the sweet potatoes from the oven. Top with half the marshmallows, then sprinkle half the streusel over the marshmallows (pinching pieces together with your fingers). Top with the other half of the marshmallows and sprinkle the remaining streusel over the top. Place back into the oven for 8-15 minutes, until the topping is bubbly and golden brown (keep an eye on it so the marshmallows don't burn). You can also place it under the broiler very briefly to add a little more color to the marshmallows. Note: the longer it is in the oven the more likely that the marshmallows will begin to melt. Allow to sit at room temperature for several minutes before serving.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Spray a 9x11-inch casserole dish with cooking spray.
• Place sweet potatoes into a large pot and cover with water; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer until tender, 15 to 20 minutes. Drain and measure 3 cups sweet potatoes; transfer back into the pot. Reserve remaining sweet potatoes for another use.
• Mix white sugar, milk, eggs, cubed butter, and vanilla extract into sweet potatoes using an electric mixer until completely smooth. Pour mixture into the prepared dish.
• Combine pecans, coconut, brown sugar, flour, and melted butter in a bowl until evenly mixed and crumbly; sprinkle evenly over sweet potato mixture.
• Bake in the preheated oven until topping is browned, 20 to 30 minutes.

STREUSEL YAM CASSEROLE

Steps:

• 1. Preheat oven if cooking right away 350 F. Prep 9x13 or 9x9 (for thicker casserole) by spraying with non-stick cooking spray.
• 2. Casserole: With a mixer, mix drained yams, eggs, sugar, vanilla, milk, and butter until combined. Pour into the casserole dish.
• 3. Topping: Combine brown sugar, flour, and softened butter. Blend until crumbly.
• 4. Sprinkle on top.
• 5. Bake 25-30 minutes or until golden brown.
• 6. Notes: For a caramelized topping, once golden brown, turn oven to Broil and watch closely. Broil roughly 3 minutes. The top with caramelize in minutes. Once out of the oven it will set creating a sweet crunchy topping while cooling. If making ahead, refrigerate, bring to room temperature before baking as stated above.
