Ingredients
  

  • 3 pounds Sweet Potatoes Peeled and cut into cubes, cooked.
  • ¼ cup Brown Sugar
  • ¼ cup Butter Unsalted or margarine.
  • ½ teaspoon Cinnamon Ground.
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla
  • 1 each Egg
  • ¼ cup Milk I used whole milk.
  • ¼ teaspoon Salt Or to taste.
  • 1 cup Cornflakes Crushed.
  • ¼ cup Pecans Chopped.
  • 1 tablespoon Butter Unsalted, melted.
  • 1 tablespoon Brown Sugar Packed.
  • 1 cup Mini Marshmallows

Equipment

  • 9×13 inch Casserole Dish
  • Glass Mixing Bowl Set (3 piece)
  • Potato Masher

Method
 

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F degrees. Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish and set aside.
  2. Add the cooked sweet potatoes, brown sugar, butter, cinnamon, vanilla, milk, egg, and salt to a large bowl and mash with a potato masher. You can use a hand mixer as well if you wish. Spread the mashed sweet potatoes in the prepared casserole dish and bake for 30 minutes.
  3. While the casserole is baking, add the cornflakes, pecans, butter, and brown sugar to a medium size bowl and toss everything together. Top with marshmallows in the center of the casserole, then sprinkle the cornflake mixture around the marshmallows.
  4. Place the dish back in the oven and bake for another 10 minutes or until the marshmallows are puffed and golden brown.

Notes

  • Tip 1: After removing the casserole from the oven, allow it to rest for 10 to 15 minutes to absorb excess liquid.
  • Tip 2: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days.
  • Tip 3: Feel free to add different toppings according to your taste.
  • Tip 4: Pair this casserole with roasted meats or a fresh salad for a balanced meal.
