Learn how easy it is to make my recipe for Homemade Sweet Potato Casserole using fresh sweet potatoes, spices, pecans, and mini marshmallows!

Homemade Sweet Potato CasseroleSweet potatoes. You either love them or hate them. My family is a bit divided so I still tend to make a small batch of sweet potato casserole  at Thanksgiving for those that love it. I love it and the more marshmallows on top the better. Because let’s face it–why else would you eat a homemade sweet potato casserole? As a kid that’s how I was lured to try sweet potato casserole. I’m pretty sure the first few times I had it all I did was eat the crispy marshmallow topping. I’m pretty sure Ryder will do the same thing. Then again, he’s already tried sweet potatoes and loves them. So maybe I won’t need to lure him with the mini marshmallows? Homemade Sweet Potato Casserole

Let’s talk about how easy it is to make my recipe for Homemade Sweet Potato Casserole. First, you peal, cut and boil the sweet potatoes. Once they are fork tender combine them with butter, brown sugar, maple syrup, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Mash them until they are smooth. Top them with chopped pecans (if you like nuts–I do, my husband doesn’t so maybe only top one side?) and then sprinkle on the mini marshmallows. I contained myself and only used 2 cups. But if you want this casserole to be more marshmallow than sweet potatoes… go right ahead. It is your casserole after all. Just make sure others will be on the same mind-set and love for mini-marshmallows like you are! Going back to the recipe… broil this casserole like you’ve never broiled before… make sure to not burn the mini marshmallows but just lightly toast them until golden brown. Then it’s time to dig in and enjoy.
