Ingredients

• 4 large sweet potatoes
• 1 cup crushed pineapple (canned, drained)
• 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 1 cup brown sugar
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 0.5 teaspoon ground nutmeg
• 0.25 teaspoon salt
• 2 large eggs
• 0.5 cup milk
• 2 cups mini marshmallows
• 0.5 cup chopped pecans (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with butter or non-stick spray.

Step 2

Peel the sweet potatoes and cut them into chunks. Place them in a large pot of salted water and bring to a boil. Simmer until the sweet potatoes are fork-tender, about 15-20 minutes.

Step 3

Drain the sweet potatoes and return them to the pot. Add the unsalted butter, brown sugar, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, and salt. Mash the sweet potatoes until smooth and well combined.

Step 4

In a small bowl, beat the eggs. Add the eggs and milk to the mashed sweet potatoes, mixing thoroughly.

Step 5

Fold in the drained crushed pineapple, ensuring it is evenly distributed throughout the mixture.

Step 6

Transfer the sweet potato mixture to the prepared baking dish and smooth the top with a spatula.

Step 7

Sprinkle the mini marshmallows evenly over the top. If using, scatter the chopped pecans over the marshmallows.

Step 8

Bake the casserole in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the marshmallows are golden brown and puffed.

Step 9

Remove the dish from the oven and allow it to cool for 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy!
