Made with mashed roasted sweet potatoes and a crunchy pecan topping with an ooey gooey melted marshmallow center!
You know how they say that “when it rains, it pours”? Well, I got to personally experience that yesterday. My site was down for 4 hours due to my problematic web host, it was pouring rain during my 4-mile run, the rain then somehow damaged my iPhone, and when I wanted to get an old-fashioned donut – the only thing that was probably going to make me feel better – I had no cash on me. Not even $0.80 in coins! So yes, when it rains, it freaking pours.
But with a huge batch of tacos for dinner last night, I’m slowly starting to recover from this day. Not to mention these sweet potatoes that I’ve had 3 nights in a row.
A side note here – please don’t mind all of these photos. I just spent my life savings on a new macro lens so I was a bit of camera-happy when shooting these. After all, melted marshmallows is such a pretty sight, right?
No, but really, I’ve made several kinds of sweet potato casseroles for the holidays in the past couple of years but I think I’ve finally perfected this. It’s a simple casserole with roasted sweet potatoes but the star of this sweet potato dish are the toppings.
I usually see recipes with either a pecan streusel or marshmallow topping but with this, you get both! A crunchy, crushed corn flakes pecan topping on the outer rim and then a ooey, gooey marshmallow topping right in the center that just melts right into the potatoes.
You get the best of both worlds on this casserole, and I promise you – it’s going to be the #1 hit at your Thanksgiving dinner!
