Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large sweet potatoes
- 1 cup crushed pineapple (canned, drained)
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 cups mini marshmallows
- 0.5 cup all-purpose flour
- 0.5 cup chopped pecans
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter (for topping)
- 0.5 cup brown sugar (for topping)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and butter a 9x13-inch casserole dish.
Peel the sweet potatoes and cut them into large chunks. Place them in a large pot, cover with water, and bring to a boil. Cook until fork-tender, about 15-20 minutes.
Drain the sweet potatoes and transfer them to a large mixing bowl. Mash the sweet potatoes until smooth with a potato masher or fork.
Mix in 4 tablespoons of butter, 1 cup of brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and vanilla extract. Stir until well combined.
Fold in the drained crushed pineapple and transfer the mixture into the prepared casserole dish, smoothing it out evenly.
For the topping, combine the flour, chopped pecans, 0.5 cup of brown sugar, and 4 tablespoons of butter (cut into small pieces) in a bowl. Use your fingers or a pastry cutter to mix until crumbly.
Sprinkle the streusel topping evenly over the sweet potato mixture.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes. Then, remove the casserole from the oven and sprinkle the mini marshmallows on top.
Return the casserole to the oven and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the marshmallows are golden and toasted.
Let the casserole cool for 5-10 minutes before serving. Enjoy!
