Ingredients

• 4 large Sweet potatoes
• 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter (melted)
• 0.5 cup Brown sugar
• 0.25 cup Milk
• 2 large Eggs
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 1 cup Pecans
• 0.5 cup All-purpose flour
• 0.5 cup Granulated sugar
• 0.5 teaspoon Cinnamon
• 2 cups Mini marshmallows
• 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter (cold, cubed)

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

Peel the sweet potatoes, cut them into chunks, and boil in a large pot of water until fork-tender, about 15-20 minutes. Drain the water and mash the sweet potatoes in the pot until smooth.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, combine the mashed sweet potatoes with melted butter, brown sugar, milk, eggs, vanilla extract, and salt. Mix until smooth and well combined.

Step 4

Spread the sweet potato mixture evenly into the prepared baking dish.

Step 5

To prepare the pecan sugar streusel, chop the pecans and combine them with the flour, granulated sugar, and cinnamon in a medium mixing bowl.

Step 6

Add the cold cubed butter to the pecan mixture. Use your fingers or a pastry cutter to blend the butter until the mixture forms pea-sized crumbs.

Step 7

Sprinkle the pecan streusel evenly over the sweet potato mixture in the baking dish.

Step 8

Bake the casserole for 25 minutes in the preheated oven.

Step 9

Remove the casserole from the oven, sprinkle the marshmallows over the top, and return it to the oven for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the marshmallows are golden brown and gooey.

Step 10

Let the casserole rest for 5-10 minutes before serving. Serve warm and enjoy!
