Equipment
- Slow Cooker
Ingredients
- 3 cups Mashed Sweet Potato or canned yams
- 1/2 cup Sugar white
- 1 Egg beaten
- 1/2 stick Butter melted
- 1/4 teaspoon Cinnamon
- 1 dash Nutmeg
- 1 tablespoon orange juice
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 package miniature marshmellows
Instructions
- Place about 6 sweet potatoes in a crockpot and cook on high for 4 hours. Once they are finished cooking remove the sweet potatoes from the crockpot and let them cool. Or peel and chop the sweet potatoes into one inch pieces and boil for about 15 minutes or until soft enough to insert a fork in them.
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Remove the skin and mash 3 cups of sweet potato. In a large bowl blend sweet potatoes or yams, sugar, egg, butter, orange juice, and vanilla. Then add cinnamon and nutmeg to the bowl and mix together.
- Add ½ of the sweet potato mixture to a greased 2 quart casserole dish. Then top with the first layer of mini marshmallows. Add the last layer of sweet potato mixture on top of the marshmallows. Place in the oven and bake at 350* for 35 minutes.
- When the timer goes off remove the casserole from the oven carefully and add the last layer of mini marshmallows on top. Place the casserole back into the oven and bake until the marshmallows are golden brown. About 5-10 mintutes but keep checking it!

Notes
I like to cook my sweet potatoes in the crockpot on high for 4 hours or you can boil them too. If you don't want to cook the sweet potatoes I've also used canned yams for this recipe instead and they taste just as good! Canned yams also cuts down on the cooking time for this dish.
