Ingredients

• 4 large sweet potatoes
• 6 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 1 cup brown sugar
• 0.5 cups whole milk
• 2 tablespoons bourbon
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 2 large eggs
• 0.5 cups all-purpose flour
• 0.75 cups chopped pecans
• 0.5 cups granulated sugar
• 0.5 teaspoons ground cinnamon
• 0.5 teaspoons salt
• 1 cup marshmallows (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.

Step 2

Peel the sweet potatoes and cut them into large chunks. Place the chunks in a large pot of water, bring to a boil, and simmer for 15-20 minutes or until very tender.

Step 3

Drain the sweet potatoes and transfer them to a large mixing bowl. Mash them until smooth using a potato masher or an electric mixer.

Step 4

Add 4 tablespoons of melted butter, brown sugar, milk, bourbon, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt to the mashed sweet potatoes. Mix until fully combined.

Step 5

Whisk in the eggs, one at a time, until smooth. Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish and spread it out evenly.

Step 6

In a medium bowl, prepare the pecan topping by mixing together the flour, chopped pecans, granulated sugar, cinnamon, and remaining 2 tablespoons of melted butter. Sprinkle the topping evenly over the sweet potato mixture.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and bubbling at the edges.

Step 8

If using marshmallows, sprinkle them over the top during the last 5 minutes of baking and return the dish to the oven until the marshmallows are lightly toasted.

Step 9

Remove the casserole from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy!
