Directions
Start by pre-heating your oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). This is important because it allows the sweet potatoes to cook evenly, enhancing their natural sweetness.
Poke holes in your sweet potatoes using a fork and bake them for approximately 1 hour or until they're tender. Trust me, this step is crucial in getting your sweet potatoes to the perfect consistency.
Once the sweet potatoes are baked, let them cool for a while, then peel and mash them in a large bowl. The better mashed they are, the creamier your casserole will turn out.
In the bowl with the mashed sweet potatoes, add brown sugar, melted butter, eggs, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, salt, and milk. Stir all together until they're mixed thoroughly. A good mix is key to ensure every bite has a consistent mouthwatering taste.
Transfer the mixture to an oven-safe casserole dish and smooth out the top to ensure an even bake later on.
Evenly sprinkle the mini marshmallows all over the sweet potato mixture.
Bake your casserole in the preheated oven for approximately 25-30 minutes or until the marshmallows have a golden-brown hue. Make sure to keep an eye on the marshmallows, as they can quickly go from roasted to burnt!
Once done, let it cool for about 10 minutes before serving.
