Turkey day is on the horizon and I wanted to share my easy version of the classic sweet potato casserole. I love Thanksgiving. It’s my favorite holiday to cook for. And while the turkey makes a presence at the Thanksgiving dinner table, it’s more about the sides for me.

Side dishes really make the meal. A well-rounded Thanksgiving dinner has enough sides that you need sideboards on your dinner plate. Sweet potatoes are one of those veggies that always have a spot at the table.

We grow a good amount here on the farm, so naturally, I like to incorporate the fruits of our labor. Sweet Potato Casserole with Marshmallows is a classic. This comfort food classic combines orange sweet potatoes, pecans, marshmallows, and a perfect amount of brown sugar and cinnamon.

Ingredients Needed to Make Sweet Potato Casserole

  • Sweet potatoes: Washed, peeled, and cut into cubes
  • Melted Butter
  • Milk, half-and-half, or heavy cream: This casserole can be made vegan by using oat milk and vegan butter.
  • Brown sugar: For a less sweet version, skip the brown sugar in the sweet potatoes. The streusel may be enough sugar for some people’s taste.
  • Ground cinnamon
  • Flour: Gluten-free flour can be used in place of all-purpose flour for a gluten-free version.
  • Chopped Pecans: Walnuts can be used in place of pecans. For a nut free version, simply leave the nuts out of the streusel topping. Instead, you’ll have a crumbly brown sugar topping. 
  • Miniature Marshmallows: The marshmallows are optional and can be left off the casserole.

Bring a large pot of water to a boil and add the cubed sweet potatoes. Boil until fork-tender (make sure they’re very soft so they will whip easily), about 15-20 minutes. Drain the water and transfer the sweet potatoes to a large bowl.

Add the melted butter, milk/cream, brown sugar, cinnamon, and salt. Whip the sweet potatoes with an electric mixer on medium speed until smooth.Spread the whipped sweet potatoes into the prepared baking dish.

In a medium mixing bowl, cut the butter into the brown sugar, flour, and cinnamon until crumbly. Mix in the chopped pecans. Sprinkle the mixture all over the top of the whipped sweet potatoes.

Bake the sweet potato casserole for 12 minutes until hot. Remove from the oven and sprinkle the mini marshmallows around the edges of the casserole. Return to the oven and bake for an additional 5 minutes until the marshmallows are golden brown (watch closely so the marshmallows don’t burn!).

    Today, I went to the beach with my children. I found a sea shell and gave it to my 4 year old
    daughter and said “You can hear the ocean if you put this to your ear.” She put the shell to her ear and screamed.
    There was a hermit crab inside and it pinched her ear.
    She never wants to go back! LoL I know this is completely off topic but I had to tell someone!
