Description: Excellent side dish for Thanksgiving! Courtesy of my sister in law, Debbie. Thank you for my first taste of sweet potatoes.
Ingredients:
2 (23 ounce) cans sweet potatoes, well drained (or yams)
4 tablespoons butter, melted
3 tablespoons brown sugar, firmly packed (I use the Splenda blend)
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 cups miniature marshmallows
Steps:
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
Lightly coat a 10 x 6 x 2 inch (1 1/2 quart) glass baking dish with nonstick cooking spray and set aside.
Combine the sweet potatoes with 1/4 cup of the melted butter along with the brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg and salt in a mixing bowl and beat until very well blended.
Add 1 cup of the marshmallows and blend.
Transfer the mixture to the baking dish smoothing out the top with a spatula.
Put the remaining marshmallows over the top.
Bake for about 20 minutes or until the potatoes are very hot and the topping is golden brown.
