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.

🎃unpopular opinion: You don’t have to do Oogi 🎃unpopular opinion: You don’t have to do Oogie Boogie Bash to have the perfect spooky season day at Disneyland⠀⠀🎃Now, here’s the thing: I love Oogie Boogie Bash.  But it sells out SO quickly every year.  And I promise, there is still a LOT of Halloween Time fun at Disneyland (yes even without an Oogie Boogie Bash ticket). I’ve been hopping around the parks with Undercover Tourist and we’ve had a TOTAL blast doing all the spooky things together.⠀⠀A few of my favorite Halloweenie things to do during a parks day (or night):⠀🖤visit the Halloween Tree (IYKYK)⠀🧡watch the Dapper Dans sing all their cutesiest spookiest songs⠀🖤check out the Dia de los Muertos area in Frontierland AND the performances in Paradise Guardians (check for the Mariachi Divas in the app….they’re AMAZING)⠀🧡try at least one new to me spooky treat (yup, that includes my seasonal cold brews and this year’s Minnie Bat Caramel Apple)⠀🖤do alllll the themed attractions, each of these does something special for Halloweentime: Luigi's Honkin' Haul-O-Ween, Monsters After Dark, Mater's Graveyard JamBOOree and…..our fav the Haunted Mansion ⠀🧡do Pumpkin Pursuit at Downtown Disney ⠀🖤the new Goofy’s Kitchen Halloween Dinner and Brunch (we loved the dinner over the weekend and I’m sharing the brunch in stories today!)⠀⠀🎃My friends at Undercover Tourist have some pretty awesome guides to Halloweentime on their site……they’re a great spooky season resource for info and a great deals on Disney tickets resource year round.  I know, I rave about them a lot but……who doesn’t love a Disney partner that gives you deals on trips to the Happiest Place on Earth for ANY holiday or season?⠀⠀#FrogHopDLR #Disneyland#DisneylandResort #Halloweentime @themeparkfrog @disneyland⠀⠀⠀
But the real question is…..which Bluey episode i But the real question is…..which Bluey episode is your favorite?!?We are off to play keepie uppie and pass the parcel at Oogie Boogie Bash. 🤣#bluey #oogieboogiebash
🚨 3 MISTAKES I MADE AT MY FIRST RUN DISNEY RACE 🚨 3 MISTAKES I MADE AT MY FIRST RUN DISNEY RACE 🚨⠀⠀🛑 Learn from my mistakes, 3 things you should NOT do if you’re running Disney races this year (trust me):⠀⠀1️⃣ Passing Go and Heading STRAIGHT to the parks: I realllllyyyyy wanted medal pictures.  In my running outfit.  So, instead of taking the buses straight from the finish line back to the hotel……we went to the Magic Kingdom.  Took photos.  Went to lunch.  And felt…..terrible by about 1 pm.  So take it from me, finish the race.  Go to the hotel.  Shower. Take a nap.  THEN go to the parks. ⠀2️⃣ Breakfast: ok, mistake number 2.  WHAT WE ATE.  We booked a very cute, very on theme lunch.  It was also very rich and creamy food.  And…..was NOT IT after a race.  Some of us may have gotten sick.  It might have been the food.  Or the lack of sleep.  But, breakfast food (waffles / eggs) would have been a MUCH better choice.  Now bonus points if you can guess where we ate.  Love it, but….not for the first meal after the race.⠀3️⃣ Park Tickets: I spent WAY too much.  I didn’t buy my park tickets in advance and paid full price.  On a race weekend, you’ll probably want tickets for race day and the day after if not two days after.  So….buy them NOW.  While you can get a deal. ⠀⠀🎟️ Which leads to……when I say buy those park tickets now, I mean it. Big News! Undercover Tourist is offering their best ticket deal at BOTH Walt Disney World and Disneyland Resort…for a VERY limited time, get Adult Theme Park Tickets at Child Prices.  So whichever race you are running (or races in my case)……snag tickets NOW.  I’m grabbing mine for Wine and Dine and Princess weekend……..⠀🎟️ want a link to the deal? Comment TICKETS PLEASE and I’ll send it your way! ⠀👟 Are you running a Disney Race this year? Which one? ⠀⠀🥇 And if you’re an experienced Run Disney person….what tips do YOU have for first timers?⠀⠀@themeparkfrog @disneyland #FrogHopDLR #rundisney

Two good witches and one black cat…….kick off Two good witches and one black cat…….kick off another year of family halloween costumes.The thing is, I tried to talk Lydia out of these costumes.  It was a cooler day on Saturday and I kept telling her we could just wear jeans and the hats.  Until, I realized…….we may not have that many Halloween seasons left of cute family costumes.  So pink witches we were…..for the kickoff of Legoland’s Brick or Treat. We love Brick or Treat (this is our 3rd year doing it). It’s got some new activities this year, and I L-O-V-E that it’s included in your regular @legolandcalifornia ticket (bonus it ALSO will be included in Kids Free October here in SD).Our favs this year:- the wacky witch trail near the water park entrance- the zombie cheerleaders- halloween themed apple fries- the monster security checkpoint- Jam Out with the Rockers (this meet and greet is HYSTERICAL, scroll for the footage)Brick or Treat takes place on Saturdays in September and then Saturdays and SOME Sundays in October (dates are on the Legoland website).Welp, this makes it official.  Summer has come to an end. Bring on the Halloween fun!#sponsored #LEGOLANDcalifornia
