Happy Thanksgiving everyone! I thought that this week I would make something in honor of my favorite holiday, THANKSGIVING! This is also my brother, Craig's, favorite dish (besides my Granny's apple pie). I absolutely love Thanksgiving because it is a time where you can get together with friends and family and have a wonderful time together! This sweet potato casserole is extremely easy to make and tastes delicious, but then again how could something topped with marshmallows not taste delicious!
2 large cans yams (drained) approx. 40 oz. each
1 small can crushed pineapple
3 tablespoons flour
1/2 cup brown sugar
1 tsp. cinnamon
nutmeg or allspice to taste
1/2 stick butter or margarine (cut into small pieces) may use less
Marshmallows
Mash yams with potato masher, if you don't have one of these you can use a fork or a wooden spoon. You just need something that will mash the yams . Add pineapple to the mashed yams and mix. Stir in the flour, brown sugar, cinnamon and allspice. Spray a 13x9 baking dish or other casserole dish and spoon the yam mixture into the dish. Make sure that the yams are even distributed in the dish or the yams will cook unevenly. Cover and bake at 350 degrees for 45-60 minutes until heated through and slightly bubbly. Uncover the dish and top with marshmallows. Turn your oven to "broil" put the dish back in the oven until the marshmallows are golden (approx. 1 minute) but watch closely--the marshmallows will burn quickly! This can cause a lot of problems, which my Mother can attest to! I really hope that you enjoy the casserole and I hope that everyone had a fabulous THANKSGIVING!
