Sweet Potato Casserole with Canned Yams for 10 Servings

Instructions:

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Thoroughly drain the 40 oz canned yams in a colander and rinse under cold water for 10 seconds to remove excess syrup. Pat the yams dry with paper towels to prevent sogginess. Note: Drying the yams is the secret to a thick, sturdy base.
2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the drained yams, 0.5 cup softened butter, 0.5 cup granulated white sugar, 2 large eggs, 0.33 cup whole milk, 1 tsp vanilla extract, 1 tsp ground cinnamon, and 0.5 tsp sea salt.
3. Use a potato masher for a rustic texture or an electric hand mixer for a silky, whipped consistency until the color is uniform and vibrant.
4. Transfer the sweet potato mixture into a greased 9x13-inch baking dish, spreading it into an even layer using a spatula.
5. In a separate small bowl, prepare the topping by mixing 0.5 cup light brown sugar, 0.33 cup all purpose flour, 0.33 cup melted butter, and 1 cup chopped pecans until a crumbly, wet sand texture forms.
6. Sprinkle the pecan crumble evenly over the sweet potato base, making sure to cover the corners.
7. Bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes until the edges are bubbling and the nutty aroma fills the room.
8. Remove the casserole from the oven and sprinkle the 1.5 cups mini marshmallows over the top in a single layer.
9. Return to the oven for an additional 3-5 minutes until the marshmallows are toasted and golden brown.
10. Let the dish sit for 5 minutes before serving to allow the base to set and the sugar to firm up. Crispy Oven Fries: My Easy & Tasty Recipe for Homemade Delight — Craving crispy oven fries?
