- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 8 tbsp softened butter
- 1 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup milk
- 2 large eggs
- 1/4 cup chopped or halved pecans (optional) (you can be a bit generous with this. It adds extra texture to the dish)
Casserole Crumble Topping
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup chopped pecans
- 4 tbsp softened butter
Marshmallow Topping (Optional)
- 1 bag mini or regular marshmallows (you'll only use enough marshmallows to fully coat the top of the casserole with a single layer)
Instructions
- PREP: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F
- MAKE CASSEROLE: Mash your pre-boiled/baked and peeled sweet potatoes in a large bowl. Once they're mashed to your liking, stir in the sugar, butter, vanilla extract, milk, eggs, and additional pecans, if including. Mix to combine. Transfer sweet potato mix into a 9x13 baking dish.5 cups sweet potatoes (~5 medium potatoes),, 1 cup granulated sugar, 8 tbsp softened butter, 1 1/2 tsp vanilla extract, 1/2 cup milk, 2 large eggs, 1/4 cup chopped or halved pecans (optional)
- MAKE CRUMBLE TOPPING: In a bowl, mix brown sugar, flour, pecans, and butter together and make sure it's well combined. Then spread it evenly across the top of your sweet potato mixture - do not mix it into the casserole, rather put a layer over the top.1 cup brown sugar, 1/2 cup all-purpose flour, 4 tbsp softened butter, 1 cup chopped pecans
- BAKE: If you are not adding marshmallows, bake the casserole for 30 minutes, until the top is brown and the center is set. If you're adding marshmallows, you'll bake the casserole first for 20 minutes, then you'll remove it from the oven, and place a layer of marshmallows over the top of the casserole. Bake it for an additional 10 minutes, until marshmallows are browned, melting, and delicious! Enjoy warm :)1 bag mini or regular marshmallows
