Ingredients
  

4 large sweet potatoes, peeled and cubed

1/2 cup granulated sugar

1/4 cup milk (or almond milk for a dairy-free option)

1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted

2 large eggs, beaten

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg

1 cup mini marshmallows

1/2 cup pecans, chopped (optional)

Instructions
 

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

    In a large pot, bring water to a boil and add the cubed sweet potatoes. Cook for about 15-20 minutes or until the sweet potatoes are tender. Drain and mash the sweet potatoes in a large bowl.

      Add sugar, milk, melted butter, beaten eggs, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and nutmeg to the mashed sweet potatoes. Mix until all ingredients are well combined and the mixture is smooth.

        Pour the sweet potato mixture into a greased 9x13-inch baking dish, smoothing the top with a spatula.

          Sprinkle the mini marshmallows evenly over the top of the sweet potato mixture. If using, sprinkle chopped pecans over the marshmallows.

            Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until the marshmallows are golden brown and the casserole is heated through.

              Remove from the oven and let cool for 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy your delicious and comforting Sweet Potato Dream Casserole!
