Instructions:
- Preheat oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Prepare baking dish: Coat a 13×9 inch baking dish with cooking spray, ensuring the surface is evenly covered.
- Mix ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the peeled and mashed sweet potatoes with sugar, eggs, milk, melted butter, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Mix until all ingredients are well incorporated.
- Bake: Transfer the mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly. Place it in the preheated oven and bake for 30 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld and the dish to cook through.
- Add marshmallows: After 30 minutes, remove the casserole from the oven. Arrange the large marshmallows evenly on top of the cooked sweet potato mixture.
- Return to oven: Return the casserole to the oven and bake for an additional 5 minutes, or until the marshmallows are golden brown and starting to melt.
- Serve: Once done, take out the casserole from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy the irresistible blend of sweet potatoes, spices, and gooey marshmallows!
Tips:
- For an extra crunchy topping, broil the marshmallows for the last minute or two of baking.
- Make it ahead of time by preparing the casserole up to a day in advance, then refrigerating it until ready to bake. Just add a few extra minutes to the baking time if starting from cold.
- Customize the sweetness by adjusting the amount of sugar to suit your taste preferences.
- Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven or microwave until warmed through before serving.
