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.

Marshmallow & Caramel Sweet Potato Casserole

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.

The way I laughed out loud when I spotted this lit The way I laughed out loud when I spotted this little area during our day at Knott’s Berry Farm……. (teachers, you get it right?!?)I mean, HAD TO TAKE A PHOTO (or 20). This weekend was the start of Peanuts Celebration at Knott’s Berry Farm and we spent a day immersed in all things Snoopy.  From the rides in Camp Snoopy to the adorable new shows to the ACTUAL PIGS in Pigpen’s Pig Pen there was so much to do…..I’m so glad that Knott’s invited us to check it all out!Now, who is YOUR favorite Peanuts character?

✨ Happy 100th Disney!✨⠀ ⠀ 💜The people a ✨ Happy 100th Disney!✨⠀⠀💜The people are the magic.  Yesterday was filled with friends and food and fun and feet (sore ones after walking around from dawn to way past dusk)…….and as Lydia and I tucked ourselves into bed last night……I felt so much gratitude.  Our happy place has brought so much joy into our lives and so many people that enrich each moment.⠀⠀✨The Disney 100 Celebration will be happening ALL YEAR, and I feel like we still have so much to see and do.⠀⠀💜Favorite Moments and Experiences from our day one of Disney 100:⠀🚂riding Mickey and Minnie’s Runaway Railroad: I avoided ALLLLLL spoilers (there are some in this carousel btw), and had seen NONE of the attraction until we stepped into the queue…. it was absolutely adorable and I can’t WAIT to ride it again, plus when we exited the ride…..some of the team that created it were at the exit and seeing their smiles? ABSOLUTE DISNEY MAGIC.⠀🌅seeing the sun rise over the castle bright and early⠀💕running into friends every 5 minutes, it felt like a giant reunion⠀👗characters in their costumes, not going to lie….we didn’t wait in lines for them….they were length, but we gave a wave as we walked by and they looked stunning⠀⠀✨When is your next Disney trip???
🏰Dreaming of Dancing in Front of the Castle for 🏰Dreaming of Dancing in Front of the Castle for Spring Break?🏰⠀⠀📷A few castle photo tips:⠀1️⃣side, not center……both sides of the castle have lovely little spots that provide a great view of the castle and moat, but avoid the crowd (plus you can get some nice flattering light into the mid morning or in the late afternoon)⠀2️⃣want to be closer to the front? Sit on the back of the benches built into the moat entrance, you’ll be a bit elevated, it gives a great angle and a better view of the castle herself ⠀3️⃣if you REALLY want that walking into the castle shot…..this is something you can do during early entry time if you are staying on property ⠀⠀🧳Now, let’s talk Spring Break tips in collaboration with @themeparkfrog :⠀🚨This is IT.  Red alert.  If you’re hoping to visit the Happiest Place on Earth for Spring Break….BOOK IT NOW.  Spring Break is around the corner, and the more you plan, the happier you’ll be (trust me).⠀⠀To do (in order):⠀1️⃣book your hotel, theme park tickets and rental car: for the best deal, you can do this as a bundle with Undercover Tourist (you’ll save a TON this way….I’m sharing more in stories)⠀2️⃣once you have your trip dates….book dining.  At Disneyland you can book 60 days in advance (which means, NOW and coming up very soon for Spring Break).⠀3️⃣ If you want to do something special like the Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique, you can ALSO book that 60 days in advance.⠀⠀✨So, are you ready? Blue skies, sunshine, and Disney Magic guaranteed. What are YOUR spring break plans?
