Sweet Potato Casserole is the ultimate Thanksgiving side dish that brings families together, filling homes with the essence of fall. With its creamy texture and sweet topping, this dish is a comforting reminder that holiday meals are meant to be shared and savored.
Ingredients
Scale:
4 cups sweet potatoes (mashed, about 4 medium sweet potatoes)
½ cup granulated sugar
¼ cup brown sugar
½ cup butter (1 stick, melted)
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
¼ cup milk
½ teaspoon salt
2 cups mini marshmallows
1 cup pecans (chopped, optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). This ensures that your casserole bakes evenly.
Peel and chop the sweet potatoes into chunks, then boil them in a large pot of water for about 15-20 minutes or until fork-tender.
Drain the sweet potatoes and return them to the pot. Mash them using a potato masher until smooth.
Add granulated sugar, brown sugar, melted butter, eggs, vanilla extract, milk, and salt to the mashed potatoes. Mix well until fully combined and creamy.
Transfer the sweet potato mixture into a greased 9x13 inch baking dish, spreading it evenly.
Sprinkle mini marshmallows evenly over the top or add chopped pecans if desired, for added texture.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until the marshmallows are golden brown and puffy.
Remove from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy warm!
