This easy Sweet Potato Casserole topped with pecans and marshmallows is a traditional side at our family Thanksgiving table. This comforting dish unites tenderly mashed sweet potatoes, brown sugar and butter with a hint of cinnamon.

It is all crowned with pillowy soft marshmallows and toasty pecans to create a sweet and savory masterpiece you will fall in love with!

How do you make Sweet Potato Casserole?

  1. Start by roasting your sweet potatoes. I just do this in the oven – it does take some time, but this step is easy to do ahead of time, as well.
  2. Scoop the cooked sweet potato from the skins and add it to a large bowl. Add the sugar, milk, eggs, vanilla and salt. Use a masher to mash the potatoes and combine the ingredients. It doesn’t need to be smooth – I like some lumps in it. Pour this into you baking dish.
  3. Make the topping by combining brown sugar, flour, and butter that has been cubed. Use a pastry cutter to cut the butter into the mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs. Stir in the pecans.
  4. Add this topping to the casserole and bake until it is toasted and bubbling. Let the casserole sit for a few minutes before serving.

    Ingredients

     4 cups sweet potato, cubed
    1/2 cup white sugar
    2 eggs, beaten
    1/2 teaspoon salt
    4 tablespoons butter, softened
    1/2 cup milk
    1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
    1/2 cup packed brown sugar
    1/3 cup all-purpose flour
    3 tablespoons butter, softened
    1/2 cup chopped pecans

    Directions

    1. Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Put sweet potatoes in a medium saucepan with water to cover. Cook over medium high heat until tender; drain and mash.
    2. In a large bowl, mix together the sweet potatoes, white sugar, eggs, salt, butter, milk and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth. Transfer to a 9×13 inch baking dish.
    3. In medium bowl, mix the brown sugar and flour. Cut in the butter until the mixture is coarse. Stir in the pecans. Sprinkle the mixture over the sweet potato mixture.
    4. Bake in the preheated oven 30 minutes, or until the topping is lightly brown.
