For an extra layer of flavor, try adding a pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg to the sweet potato mixture. If you prefer a less sweet casserole, reduce the amount of granulated sugar in the sweet potato mixture. The pecan topping can be made ahead of time and stored in an airtight container at room temperature until ready to use. For a smoother sweet potato mixture, use an electric mixer instead of mixing by hand. If you don't have pecans, walnuts or almonds can be substituted in the topping.

Follow The Directions
01
StepPreheat oven to 325°F (165°C). (5 minutes)
02
StepIn a large bowl, combine the mashed sweet potatoes, granulated sugar, eggs, milk, 3 tablespoons of melted butter, vanilla extract, and salt. Mix until smooth and well combined. (5 minutes)
03
StepPour the sweet potato mixture into a 9-inch square baking dish, greased or lined with parchment paper. (2 minutes)
04
StepBake in the preheated oven for 45 minutes, or until the sweet potato mixture is set and slightly firm to the touch.
05
StepWhile the sweet potato mixture is baking, prepare the topping: In a separate bowl, combine the chopped pecans, brown sugar, flour, and 1/4 cup of melted butter. Mix until the dry ingredients are evenly moistened and the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. (5 minutes)
06
StepRemove the sweet potato casserole from the oven and evenly spread the pecan topping over the sweet potato mixture. Top with mini marshmallows, arranging them in a single layer to cover the topping. (3 minutes)
07
StepReturn the dish to the oven and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the marshmallows are lightly browned and toasted to your liking. (10-15 minutes)
08
StepRemove from oven and let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy! (10 minutes)
