Ingredients
For the Sweet Potatoes:
- 6 medium to large-size sweet potatoes
- 2 large eggs
- ½ stick unsalted butter
- 1/3 cup packed light brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- coarse salt and fresh cracked pepper to taste
For the Streusel :
- 1/3 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/3 cup packed light brown sugar
- 3/4 cup roughly chopped pecans
- ½ stick unsalted butter
- 1 cup mini marshmallows
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°.
- Add the potatoes to a cookie sheet tray lined with parchment paper or foil and bake in the oven at 375° for 60-70 minutes or until tender.
- Remove the potatoes pull the skin off and discard. Add the cooked insides to a large bowl.
- Add the eggs, butter, brown sugar, cinnamon, salt, and pepper to the bowl and mash with a hand masher or electric hand beater until smooth.
- Transfer the mashed sweet potatoes to a 13x9 casserole dish sprayed with non-stick spray. Set aside.
- In a separate large bowl, cut together the flour, brown sugar, pecans, and butter until the butter is the size of rice.
- Fold in the marshmallows and then evenly sprinkle the streusel over the mashed sweet potatoes, completely covering them.
- Bake in the oven at 375° for 25 to 30 minutes or until the marshmallows are browned. Serve.
Notes
- Make-Ahead - You can make these up to 2 days ahead by following these instructions. Bake, peel, and mash them in a bowl with eggs, salt, pepper, cinnamon, and brown sugar. Transfer the mashed sweet potatoes to a casserole dish, top off with the streusel, then chill it in the refrigerator. For the day the sweet potato casserole is served, pull it out of the refrigerator 30 minutes before baking and then bake at 375° for 30 to 35 minutes.
- Storing and Freezing: The casserole can be stored in the refrigerator covered in plastic for up to 5 days. It can also be frozen and covered for up to 2 months. Thaw for 1 day in the refrigerator before cooking and serving.
- How to Reheat: To reheat the sweet potato casserole, add your desired portion to a casserole dish or pan, cover it, and heat it in the oven at 350° for 10-12 minutes or until hot. In addition, you can add them to the microwave and heat them until hot.
- I used a smaller 10x5 casserole dish because I wanted the layer of sweet potatoes to be thicker.
- This dish will hold for up to 1 hour, covered in foil, and kept in the oven at low temperatures (200°>).
- When making the streusel, you could do it in a food processor if you want to save some time or don’t have a pastry knife.
- This sweet potato casserole is sweet enough to be a dessert, so you may want to try it or make my sweet potato pie recipe.
