Time 50m

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 cup chopped pecans
4 teaspoons honey
1 cup brown sugar, divided
1 tablespoon white sugar
5 sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into cubes
¼ cup heavy whipping cream
3 tablespoons butter, cut into cubes
2 tablespoons orange juice
⅛ teaspoon ground nutmeg, or to taste
⅛ teaspoon ground cinnamon, or to taste
1 (10.5 ounce) package miniature marshmallows

Steps:

  • Set oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source and preheat the oven's broiler.
  • Spread pecans out on a baking sheet and drizzle honey over pecans. Sprinkle 1 tablespoon brown sugar and white sugar over the top.
  • Cook pecans in the preheated oven until honey starts to bubble and nuts are fragrant, 2 to 4 minutes. Remove nuts from oven and reduce oven temperature to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  • Place sweet potatoes into a large pot and cover with salted water; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer until tender, about 20 minutes. Drain.
  • Combine sweet potatoes, remaining brown sugar, cream, butter, orange juice, nutmeg, and cinnamon together in a large bowl. Stir pecans into sweet potato mixture. Spread mixture into a 9x13-inch baking dish and top with marshmallows.
  • Bake casserole in the oven until marshmallows are golden brown, about 10 minutes.

This casserole is so easy to make and it's always a hit at potlucks. I love that I can make it ahead of time and just reheat it when I'm ready to serve.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my casserole turned out really dry. I think I might have overcooked the sweet potatoes.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my casserole didn't turn out as creamy as I would have liked. It was still tasty, but not as good as I was hoping for.

This casserole was a bit too sweet for my taste, but it was still good.

I was a little hesitant to try this recipe because I'm not a big fan of sweet potatoes, but I'm so glad I did! This casserole was amazing. The sweet potatoes were perfectly cooked and the topping was so delicious.
