Thanksgiving is almost here and this Sweet Potato Casserole with Marshmallow recipe is always a hit!
Whether you’re hosting a holiday party or will be a guest in someone’s home, it is always polite to bring along a dish to share. This is a good side dish to make for Thanksgiving – and it will get rave reviews from everyone who tries it. The best news: it’s easy for busy moms who are under a lot of stress.
If you’re a sweet potato fan, you will love this recipe, and if your kids are picky eaters or sweet potatoes aren’t your thing, they just may be once you try this casserole. My family found a recipe similar to this years ago on Food.com. We’ve made a few slight changes to it.
Sweet Potato Casserole with Marshmallows
Ingredients:
1 (40 oz) can of Bruce’s cut yams, drained
½ cup brown sugar
½ teaspoon cinnamon
¼ teaspoon salt
1 egg, beaten
4 tablespoons melted butter
1 (16 oz) bag of miniature marshmallows
Directions:
Butter a one-quart baking dish. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees. Mash the yams in a bowl and add brown sugar, cinnamon, one egg, salt and the melted butter and mix well. Pour half of the mixture into the baking dish. Cover with half the bag of marshmallows (I use a little less; just add the amount you prefer). Add other half of the yam mixture. Bake for 30 minutes. Remove dish from oven and top with the remaining marshmallows (I use a little less than the entire bag). Bake for another 10 minutes until the marshmallows are golden brown. This Sweet Potato Casserole is a well-loved Thanksgiving side dish I have to have each year. Enjoy!

This is one of my favorite sides for Thanksgiving, the family always loves it.
OMG! This looks awesome! I just love potatoes. I have bookmarked this and am making it soon!
How many does this recipe serve? I am going to have 10 people at my house this year!
It serves about 6-8 people.
What size baking pan did you use?
Never mind I saw it haha
I made this casserole this thanksgiving. Did exactly everything the same way but it came out soupy, any tips?
I had the same issue the first time making it, but it turns out I forgot to drain the can of yams before mashing and baking. Now when I make it, always remembering to drain first, it comes out the perfect consistency!
Hi Jbrena! Drain the yams and it won’t be soupy!! Thank you!

Did you use salted or unsalted butter??
Hi Sarah! You should use unsalted butter for the best results!Thanks!
I made this for an office potluck and it was a hit! I used two 30 oz cans of Bruce’s. I also added nutmeg to the mash and toasted some pecans in butter and added those before the second layer of marshmallows! Yum!
Can I make this for the next day?
Can i prepare this ahead of time and put in fridge then bake when ready?
Can i prepare this ahead of time and refrigerate and then bake
Just wondering if doubling the recipe in a 9×13 glass dish, do you have to bake for an hour? Or should it be fine in the 30 min?
