Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
- Butter or spray with baking spray a 9x13-inch casserole or baking dish. Set aside.
- Add 2 cups of pecans to a baking sheet and roast for a few minutes, watching closely to prevent burning. Remove from oven, cool, and roughly chop.
Cook the Potatoes:
- Peel, cube, and wash sweet potatoes. Add the cubed potatoes to a Dutch oven or large saucepan. Cover with water and bring to a boil. Boil for about 15 minutes. When pierced with a fork, the potatoes should be tender.
- Drain cooked sweet potatoes, mash, and set aside to cool off a bit.
Cinnamon Filling:
- While the potatoes are cooking, in a small bowl, use a fork to mix the softened butter, flour, sugar, and cinnamon together until soft crumbs form. Set aside.
Pecan Topping:
- Combine all the ingredients from the "Pecan Topping" section except marshmallows. Stir and set aside.
Sweet Potato Layer:
- Combine the slightly cooled mashed potatoes with the ingredients from the "For the Potatoes" section: brown sugar, melted butter, 1 cup chopped pecans, lightly beaten eggs, milk, salt, vanilla, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Stir to combine until smooth.
Assembling the Casserole:
- Add half of the mashed sweet potato mix to the prepared pan, distribute evenly, and smooth the top with a spatula.
- Sprinkle half of the Cinnamon Filling mixture on top of the mashed potatoes.
- Add the remaining sweet mashed potato filling, distribute evenly, and smooth the top with a spatula.
- Sprinkle the Pecan Filling mixture on top of the mashed potatoes.
- Sprinkle the mini marshmallows if using them.
- Sprinkle the remaining Cinnamon Filling mixture on top.
Bake:
- Bake for 30 minutes, until the filling is hot and the topping has browned.
- If the marshmallow starts to brown too quickly, spray some foil with baking spray and cover the casserole, greased side down, being careful not to touch the toppings.
- Serve warm.
