THE BEST SWEET POTATO CASSEROLE
We opted for a nutty crumb topping over marshmallows to create a pleasantly crunchy contrast to the creamy and soft mashed sweet potatoes. The filling gets a pumpkin pie-like treatment, with brown sugar and vanilla for a deep caramel flavor and butter and eggs for richness. This recipe is bound to become a holiday staple.

- For the filling: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Butter a 2-quart baking dish.
- Whisk together the butter, mashed sweet potatoes, milk, brown sugar, vanilla, salt and eggs in a large bowl. Transfer to the prepared baking dish.
- For the topping: Combine the flour, brown sugar, butter and salt in a medium bowl until moist and the mixture clumps together. Stir in the pecans. Spread the mixture over the top of the sweet potatoes in an even layer. Bake until mostly set in the center and golden on top, 25 to 30 minutes. Serve hot.

SWEET POTATO CASSEROLE
This take on the classic Thanksgiving side has the right amount of sweetness and irresistible buttery flavor, not to mention the right balance of creamy and crunchy. Crushed cornflakes make the topping extra crisp, but you can skip them if you want. The two cups of mini marshmallows called for may not cover your entire casserole, allowing a little of that sweet potato filling to peek out, but feel free to use more marshmallows to cover it all the way. With all its flavors and textures combined, this quintessential holiday dish will have everyone coming back for more.

Steps:
- Prepare the filling: Heat oven to 350 degrees. Grease a 9-by-13-inch baking dish with butter and line a baking sheet with aluminum foil.
- Poke the sweet potatoes all over with a fork and place on the baking sheet. Bake until soft, about 1 hour; let cool.
- When sweet potatoes are cool enough to handle, peel them using a knife, then add the flesh to a large bowl (or the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment) and mash with a potato masher or fork.
- Add the 1/2 cup butter, eggs, condensed milk, granulated sugar, vanilla and salt to the bowl. Combine well with a hand mixer or a stand mixer on medium speed. Add the mixture to the prepared baking dish and, using a spatula, smooth out the top.
- Prepare the topping: In a medium bowl, stir together the pecans, cornflakes (if using), brown sugar, flour and butter until thoroughly combined. Spoon the topping evenly over the sweet potatoes.
- Bake the casserole until slightly browned, about 35 minutes. Remove the casserole from the oven and add the marshmallows in an even layer. Return to the oven and bake until marshmallows are toasty and melted, about 5 minutes. Let sit for 5 minutes before serving.

Tips:
- Choose the right sweet potatoes: Look for firm, unblemished sweet potatoes that are about the same size so they cook evenly.
- Preheat your oven: Always preheat your oven to the desired temperature before baking the casserole. This helps ensure that the casserole cooks evenly.
- Don't overcook the sweet potatoes: Overcooked sweet potatoes will be mushy and lack flavor. Cook them until they are tender but still hold their shape.
- Mash the sweet potatoes until smooth: Use a potato masher or food processor to mash the sweet potatoes until they are smooth and creamy. Lumps will make the casserole less enjoyable to eat.
- Add your favorite mix-ins: Feel free to add your favorite mix-ins to the casserole, such as pecans, walnuts, marshmallows, or dried cranberries. Just be sure not to add too many, or the casserole will become too dense.
- Bake the casserole until golden brown: Bake the casserole until the top is golden brown and bubbly. This usually takes about 30 minutes.
- Let the casserole cool slightly before serving: Let the casserole cool slightly before serving so that it has a chance to set. This will make it easier to slice and serve.
Conclusion:
Sweet potato casserole is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. It is perfect for holidays, potlucks, or any other special occasion. With so many different variations to choose from, there is sure to be a sweet potato casserole recipe that everyone will love.
