Steps:
- 1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly grease a 9x13 inch baking dish
- 2. In a large soup pot, boil sweet potatoes whole until soft. Remove skins, and dice into bite-sized pieces.
- 3. Mix sweet potatoes, crushed pineapple, light brown sugar, and butter in prepared baking dish.
- 4. Bake for 45 minutes, or until casserole is mushy with no excess water in the dish.
Tips:
- Use fresh pineapple. Fresh pineapple has a brighter flavor and more nutrients than canned pineapple. If you're using canned pineapple, be sure to drain it well and rinse it off before using.
- Don't overcook the casserole. The casserole is done when the pineapple is heated through and the marshmallows are golden brown. Overcooking will make the pineapple tough and the marshmallows rubbery.
- Serve the casserole warm or at room temperature. The casserole can be served immediately after it's baked, or it can be cooled and served later. It's also delicious served cold.
- Garnish with fresh mint or whipped cream. A garnish of fresh mint or whipped cream will add a touch of elegance to the casserole.
Conclusion:
Pineapple casserole is a classic Southern dish that's perfect for any occasion. It's easy to make, delicious, and always a crowd-pleaser. Whether you're serving it for a holiday dinner or a casual get-together, pineapple casserole is sure to be a hit.
