Ingredients

• 4 cups yams (peeled and cubed)
• 6 tablespoons butter
• 0.5 cup brown sugar
• 0.25 cup whole milk
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 0.25 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 cup all-purpose flour
• 2 cups mini marshmallows
• 0.5 cup pecans (chopped)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.

Step 2

Place the peeled and cubed yams in a large pot and cover with water. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat and cook for 15-20 minutes, or until the yams are fork-tender. Drain the yams and return them to the pot.

Step 3

Add 4 tablespoons of butter, 0.25 cup of brown sugar, whole milk, cinnamon, vanilla extract, and salt to the yams. Mash the mixture until smooth and creamy.

Step 4

Spoon the mashed yam mixture evenly into the prepared baking dish and set aside.

Step 5

In a small bowl, create a crumble topping by mixing the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter, 0.25 cup of brown sugar, all-purpose flour, and chopped pecans. Use a fork or your hands to blend the mixture into a crumbly texture.

Step 6

Evenly sprinkle the crumble mixture over the mashed yams in the baking dish.

Step 7

Top with the mini marshmallows, spreading them out in an even layer.

Step 8

Place the casserole in the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the marshmallows are golden brown and toasted.

Step 9

Remove the casserole from the oven and let it cool for 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy!
