I have the biggest crush on sweet potatoes. They're my favorite! Given the choice between sweet potato pie and pumpkin pie, I choose sweet potato 9 times out of 10. There's nothing I love more than tasty sweet potato recipes and this sweet potato casserole definitely fits that description.

Many years ago I worked at Texas Roadhouse. In fact, that's where I met my husband. If you've ever been and ordered a baked sweet potato there it generally comes one of two ways – honey cinnamon butter & brown sugar or caramel sauce and marshmallows. This sweet potato casserole is an homage to the loaded sweet potatoes from my 20's. I served more of them than I can count and everyone loves the sweet combination.

This sweet potato casserole is a Thanksgiving classic. With its layer of caramel sauce, it'll take your dinner to a whole new level! And if you're feeling adventurous, you can sneak a little bourbon or honey flavored whiskey in the sweet potatoes for a kick! Adults only though.

Yum

Prep Time: 10 mins     Cook Time: 30 mins     Makes: 8 to 12 servings

Ingredients

3 large or 4 medium-sized orange flesh sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into 1/2-inch pieces

3 tablespoons unsalted butter

1/2 cup brown sugar, lightly packed

1/4 cup half-and-half or whole milk

1 teaspoon salt

1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1/4 teaspoon nutmeg

1/4 to 1/2 cup caramel sauce (store-bought or homemade)

One 10-ounce bag mini marshmallows

Directions

  1. Bring a large pot of water to a boil while you prep the sweet potatoes. Add the potatoes to the pot and cook until fork tender, about 20 minutes. Drain the potatoes and transfer to a large mixing bowl.
  2. Use a potato masher to smooth out the potatoes a bit.
  3. Add the butter, brown sugar, and half-and-half to the potatoes. Mash to combine and smooth out the potatoes even more.
  4. Using a wooden spoon, stir in the salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg until well combined.
  5. Transfer the potatoes to a 2.5-quart casserole dish and smooth into an even layer.
  6. Pour caramel sauce all over the top of the sweet potatoes. Use a rubber spatula to spread the caramel to the edges, if needed.
  7. Cover the top of the sweet potatoes with mini marshmallows. I didn't use the entire bag of marshmallows, but you totally can if you want to.
  8. Turn your oven's broiler to high and place the casserole dish on a rack situated in the middle of your oven. Broil the marshmallows for 1-2 minutes or until they are golden. Remove from the oven and serve immediately.

Notes

If you have an all adult guest list for dinner, you can add 1-2 tablespoon of bourbon or honey flavored whiskey to the sweet potatoes before they go into the casserole dish.

<hosted by Disney> I had ONE thing I wanted to do during our day at Epcot before we sail away for the Christening of the Disney Wish tomorrow.  And it lived up to every expectation I had. ⠀
⠀
Seriously, this ride is a magical addition to the parks (and I know WDW people it’s not new to you but it was new to us Disneylanders…..I’m SO glad I didn’t watch ride spoilers beforehand……it was so fun to experience it this way!)⠀
⠀
So, if you had to pick ONE thing to do at Walt Disney World….what would your priority be? Now I have to know (and why is it something Epcot related).⠀

🌴This kiddo is officially a 3rd grader and I can’t believe we are already halfway through elementary school (acknowledging that I’m that mom saying it goes too fast). Yesterday was a half day, and we had a fun little family celebration in the afternoon.⠀
⠀
🎥Robbie’s dad was in town, and the team from Netflix invited us to a personal screening of their new movie The Sea Beast (it will be on Netflix on July 8th). LOVE LOVE LOVED this movie, it’s a super fun family adventure film and loved even more that we got to see it in our VERY own movie theater (scroll to see Lydia doing cartwheels down the aisle because….why wouldn’t you if you were on your own in a movie theater?)⠀
⠀
✨Today, we’re off to our favorite place (leave your guesses in the comments) for a mini-staycation………⠀

☀️Hello summer, I missed you.⠀
