Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 4 cups sweet potatoes
- ½ cup brown sugar
Supporting Ingredients:
- ¼ cup milk
- ¼ cup butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Seasoning:
- ½ teaspoon cinnamon
- ½ cup mini marshmallows
Instructions
- Warm your oven to precisely 350°F, preparing a welcoming space for your sweet potato casserole.
- Grab a spacious mixing bowl and add 4 cups of smooth mashed sweet potatoes, creating your creamy foundation.
- Pour ½ cup brown sugar, ¼ cup milk, ¼ cup melted butter, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and ½ teaspoon cinnamon directly into the sweet potato mixture.
- Whisk all ingredients thoroughly, blending until your mixture transforms into a silky, uniform consistency with no lumps remaining.
- Select a baking dish and generously coat its interior with cooking spray or butter to prevent sticking.
- Carefully transfer your sweet potato blend into the prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly across the surface.
- Sprinkle ½ cup mini marshmallows across the top, creating a delightful golden-brown blanket.
- Slide the casserole into the preheated 350°F oven and bake for exactly 25-30 minutes, watching for marshmallows to turn a perfect golden color.
- Remove from the oven and let the casserole rest for 5 minutes, allowing flavors to settle and marshmallows to cool slightly before serving.
Notes
- Mash sweet potatoes while still warm for the smoothest texture and easiest mixing.
- For a less sweet version, reduce brown sugar or swap with maple syrup for deeper flavor.
- Toast marshmallows carefully to avoid burning – watch the casserole during the last 5 minutes of baking.
- Make this dish dairy-free by substituting coconut milk and plant-based butter for traditional dairy ingredients.
