Instructions

  • Preheat the Oven: Heat your oven to 350°F (177°C).
  • Mash the Sweet Potatoes: Place the mashed sweet potatoes in a mixing bowl.
  • Prepare the Spice Blend: In a small bowl, combine the brown sugar, ground cinnamon, nutmeg, salt, allspice, ginger, and cloves. Mix well, then stir the spice blend into the mashed sweet potatoes until fully combined.
  • Add the Egg: Lightly beat the egg in a separate bowl, then mix it into the sweet potato mixture.
  • Prepare the Baking Dish: Lightly butter a 5x5-inch baking dish. Pour the sweet potato mixture into the dish and spread it evenly. Sprinkle the pecans over the top.
  • Bake the Casserole: Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 15 minutes.
  • Add the Marshmallows: Remove the casserole from the oven and top with marshmallows. Return it to the oven and bake for an additional 10 minutes, or until the marshmallows are golden and puffy.

Notes

  • Mash Thoroughly: Make sure the sweet potatoes are well-mashed for a smooth and creamy texture.
  • Customize the Spices: Adjust the spices to match your taste. Add more or less of your favorites to make the dish just right for you.
  • Let It Cool: Allow the casserole to rest for a few minutes after baking. It will be very hot, and cooling slightly ensures the best texture and flavor when served.
