Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 cups mashed sweet potatoes (about 4 large sweet potatoes)
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs, beaten
  • 1/3 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 tsp ground nutmeg
  • 1/4 tsp salt

Pecan Topping:

  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/3 cup brown sugar
  • 1/3 cup melted butter
  • 1 cup chopped pecans

Marshmallow Topping (optional):

  • 2 cups mini marshmallows

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.
  • In a large bowl, combine mashed sweet potatoes, granulated sugar, beaten eggs, melted butter, milk, vanilla extract, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. Mix well until smooth.
  • Spread the sweet potato mixture evenly into the prepared baking dish.
  • In a separate bowl, prepare the pecan topping by combining flour, brown sugar, melted butter, and chopped pecans. Mix until crumbly.
  • Sprinkle the pecan topping evenly over the sweet potato mixture.
  • Bake for 25-30 minutes or until the topping is golden brown and the casserole is heated through.
  • If using marshmallows, remove the casserole from the oven at the 25-minute mark, sprinkle the marshmallows over the top, and return to the oven for 5-10 minutes until the marshmallows are golden and bubbly.
  • Let cool slightly before serving.

Notes

  • For extra flavor, you can add a pinch of allspice or ginger to the sweet potato mixture.
  • You can make the casserole ahead of time and reheat it before serving.
  • If you prefer a nut-free version, omit the pecans and use just the marshmallow topping.
