Sweet Potato Casserole with Marshmallows Recipe
Description
Sweet Potato Casserole with Marshmallows features cooked and peeled mashed sweet potatoes mixed with melted butter, white and brown sugars, eggs, milk, and cinnamon to form a smooth, lightly sweetened base. The mixture is spread evenly in a baking dish, then topped with a single even layer of mini marshmallows. Baking at 350°F melts and caramelizes the marshmallows, creating a toasted, slightly crisp topping over the creamy filling beneath.
The casserole balances the natural sweetness of the sweet potatoes with the added sugars and cinnamon, while the marshmallow topping adds texture contrast and visual appeal. This dish serves as a rich side commonly found on festive tables, complementing savory mains like turkey or pork.
For an optional twist, a pecan streusel topping can be prepared with butter, brown sugar, flour, and pecans and sprinkled over the casserole before baking for crunchy texture and nutty flavor. This dish can be accompanied by various holiday staples, rounding out festive meals.
