Ingredients

  • 4 lbs sweet potatoes, peeled and **cooked
  • 4 tablespoons butter, softened
  • 14 oz can sweetened condensed milk
  • 1 tablespoon cinnamon
  • 16 oz bag large marshmallows

Instructions 

  • Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease a 9x13 casserole dish with nonstick cooking spray or butter. Set aside. 
  • In a large mixing bowl, mash the cooked sweet potatoes. Add the butter, sweetened condensed milk, and cinnamon. Stir until well combined.
  • Pour sweet potato mixture into prepared casserole dish. Use the back of a spoon to level out the top of the sweet potatoes.
  • Evenly place the marshmallows over the top of the sweet potatoes.
  • Place casserole in the oven for 30 minutes, until casserole is warmed through and the marshmallows are toasted. (Do not cover the casserole or the marshmallows won’t toast. If marshmallows are toasting too quickly, lightly tent the top with aluminum foil and then remove for the last 5 to 10 minutes of baking.) 
  • Serve immediately!

Notes

**Ways You Can Cook Sweet Potatoes:
How To Make Casserole Ahead:
  1. After putting the marshmallows on top, cover casserole with saran wrap or foil and store in the fridge.
  2. Then, one hour before you want to put the casserole into the oven, remove it and let it warm up to room temperature on the counter before baking.
Storage:
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 5 days. Be aware that the marshmallows will dissolve a little during storing and reheating. It will still be tasty, but not as pretty as it was fresh.
  • You can freeze leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 months. We recommend freezing it without marshmallows, then adding fresh marshmallows again when ready to reheat.
