This is an easy and popular sweet potato casserole, topped with broiled marshmallow topping. 

Ingredients

  • 3 cups sweet potatoes (cooked, mashed)
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 1/4 cup orange juice or milk
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/3 cup marshmallow creme or fluff
  • 1 egg (well beaten)
  • 1/2 to 1 cup miniature marshmallows

Steps to Make It

  1. Combine sweet potatoes, butter, orange juice or milk, salt, and 1/3 cup of the marshmallow creme.

  2. Beat in egg.

  3. Pile the sweet potatoes in a lightly buttered baking dish. Bake at 400° for 25 minutes.

  4. Top with miniature marshmallows and brown under broiler for about 4 minutes.

Serves 4 to 6.

Glass Bakeware Warning

Do not use glass bakeware when broiling or when a recipe calls to add liquid to a hot pan, as glass may explode. Even if it states oven-safe or heat resistant, tempered glass products can, and do, break occasionally.
