Favorite Sweet Potato Casserole

sweet potato casserole

Just eight days until Thanksgiving.  If you are still looking for a sweet potato recipe then look no further, this is the best!  I have always been a fan of sweet potato casseroles.  This casserole is the best of everything.  It has that wonderful crumb topping and melty marshmallows too.  Surprisingly, it’s not too sweet.  It is, in fact, the perfect sweet potato casserole!

Ingredients
  • 4½ to 5 pounds fresh sweet potatoes
  • 4 tbsp. butter
  • 2 lg. eggs, lightly beaten
  • 1 tsp. salt
  • 1 tsp. ground cinnamon
  • ½ tsp. vanilla extract
  • ¼ tsp. ground nutmeg
  • ½ c. dark brown sugar
  • up to ¼ c. heavy cream
  • non-stick cooking spray
  • ½ c. all-purpose flour
  • 1 c. dark brown sugar
  • ½ tsp. salt
  • 1 c. old-fashioned oats
  • ½ tsp. ground cinnamon
  • 1 stick unsalted butter, room temperature
  • 2 c. mini marshmallows
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 350°F. Spray a 9 x 13-inch baking dish with non-stick cooking spray and set aside.
  2. Bake sweet potatoes on a foil lined baking sheet, in a 400°F oven for about 1 hour, or until tender. Allow the sweet potatoes to cool to touch. Remove skins and place the potatoes in a large mixing bowl.
  3. Mash the potatoes with the butter using a potato masher. Add eggs, salt, cinnamon, vanilla extract, nutmeg, and brown sugar. Mix until well combined. Add the cream, a little at a time until desired consistency. Pour potato mixture into prepared dish. Top evenly with marshmallows and set aside.
  4. Combine the flour, brown sugar, salt, oats, and cinnamon in a medium bowl and mix together until mixed well. Add butter and mix until crumbly. (I mash this mixture together with my hand.) Crumble the mixture on top of the marshmallows. Bake in 350°F oven for 30 to 45 minutes until lightly browned.

Hi, I'm Amye. I started Not Just Sunday Dinner in 2011 after moving back to Georgia. I grew up in North Georgia and have lived in different parts of Georgia most of my life. After living in Florida for five years we moved back to Georgia in the summer of 2009. I've always loved Georgia, but now Florida holds a special place in my heart as well. I have been married for 26 years to a wonderful man, Greg. We have two children, Wes, 21 years old and a third year college student, and Savannah, 18 years old and a freshman in college. Greg and I have started "dating" again. Since the kids only want to see us when they need money
