Sweet Potato (Yam) Casserole With Marshmallows

Nanita's Note:

This is a compilation of a couple of different recipes I found on the web. My husband loves sweet potatoes with LOTS of marshmallows and wanted a casserole like one of his aunts used to make. After a few trials, this was the final incarnation. It is now a Thanksgiving staple for both his and my family's dinners.

I gave this recipe 5 stars! This recipe was so easy and tasted just good as using fresh cooked sweet potatoes. When I made this recipe I only had one each 15oz and 12oz cans. So I cut down on the other ingredients a bit. Also I used Splenda brown sugar. I didn't use near as many marshmallows as directed. Overall this was so good and I will make this recipe again for sure! Thanks for posting! Christine (internetnut)

Thank goodness I found this again! I've started doing a lot of the dishes for my family holiday gatherings (18 people) and this was a HUGE hit on Thanksgiving! I'll be making it again for Christmas dinner. My aunt usually makes it and uses nuts in hers, but they enjoyed it more without the nuts...yay! Thanks!
