Sweet Potato Casserole
Saturday, November 21st, 2009A favourite at Thanksgiving and Christmas tables, this sweet potato casserole dish is easy to make and sure to please, especially for those with a sweet tooth. It is so good, it is almost like a dessert, but is typically served with the main meal. Ingredients:
- 4-5 large sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into rounds
- 1/3 cup brown sugar
- 2 TBSP. melted butter
- Salt & pepper
- 3 cups miniature marshmallows
- 2 TBSP. melted butter
Preheat oven to 375? F. Place sweet potatoes in large flat (9’ X 13”) casserole/baking dish that has been sprayed with non-stick cooking spray. Sprinkle salt and pepper over sweet potatoes, then top with brown sugar. Mix together lightly. Gently pour first 2 TBSP. of melted butter over all. Cover with tin foil and bake for approximately ¾ hour. Remove from oven. Test that potatoes are done (tender when pierced with a fork). Mix together marshmallows and second batch of melted butter. Remove foil from baking pan and spread marshmallows over top. Place oven on broil with rack mid-way in oven. Place potatoes back in oven and broil for 3-4 minutes, watching closely that marshmallows don’t burn but are browned and golden. Serve hot.
