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
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 2 cups mini marshmallows
• 0.5 cup all-purpose flour
• 0.5 cup chopped pecans
• 4 tablespoons unsalted butter (for topping)
• 0.5 cup brown sugar (for topping)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and butter a 9x13-inch casserole dish.

Step 2

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

Step 3

Drain the sweet potatoes and transfer them to a large mixing bowl. Mash the sweet potatoes until smooth with a potato masher or fork.

Step 4

Mix in 4 tablespoons of butter, 1 cup of brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and vanilla extract. Stir until well combined.

Step 5

Fold in the drained crushed pineapple and transfer the mixture into the prepared casserole dish, smoothing it out evenly.

Step 6

For the topping, combine the flour, chopped pecans, 0.5 cup of brown sugar, and 4 tablespoons of butter (cut into small pieces) in a bowl. Use your fingers or a pastry cutter to mix until crumbly.

Step 7

Sprinkle the streusel topping evenly over the sweet potato mixture.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes. Then, remove the casserole from the oven and sprinkle the mini marshmallows on top.

Step 9

Return the casserole to the oven and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the marshmallows are golden and toasted.

Step 10

Let the casserole cool for 5-10 minutes before serving. Enjoy!
