Sweet Potato Casserole with Marshmallows

Sweet Potato Casserole with Marshmallows

This Sweet Potato Casserole with Marshmallows is the ultimate holiday side dish — creamy, sweet, and topped with golden toasted marshmallows. Perfect for Thanksgiving, Christmas, or any cozy family dinner.

Ingredients

  • 4 cups mashed sweet potatoes (about 4 large sweet potatoes)
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup butter, melted
  • 1/2 tsp cinnamon
  • 1/4 tsp nutmeg
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 2 large eggs, beaten
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 cups mini marshmallows
  • Optional: 1/2 cup chopped pecans for topping

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Boil or bake sweet potatoes until tender. Peel and mash.
  3. In a large bowl, combine mashed sweet potatoes, brown sugar, melted butter, cinnamon, nutmeg, salt, eggs, and vanilla. Mix until smooth.
  4. Transfer mixture to a greased baking dish.
  5. Top evenly with mini marshmallows (and pecans if using).
  6. Bake for 25–30 minutes, until marshmallows are golden brown.
  7. Serve warm and enjoy!

Notes

For extra flavor, roast the sweet potatoes instead of boiling. You can also make ahead and refrigerate overnight, then bake just before serving.
