    Instructions

    Sweet Potato Casserole

    • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees and grease a 9 x 13 pan with nonstick cooking spray. Boil sweet potatoes until fork tender, drain and place back into pot.
    • Add in butter, milk, sugar, vanilla, salt and eggs to the sweet potatoes. Using a masher mix until smooth and creamy.
    • Layer the sweet potatoes into the bottom of the prepared dish.
    • Top with the streusel and bake for 25-30 minutes or until golden brown. Serve immediately.

    Streusel Topping

    • Combine all of the ingredients in a medium bowl. Set aside.

    Notes

    Use marshmallow topping: If you prefer a marshmallow topping simply omit the streusel and top the sweet potato mixture with 3-4 cups of mini marshmallows.
    To reheat leftovers place casserole covered in aluminum foil in a 350 degree oven for 25 minutes or until heated through.
    Peel / unpeeled potatoes: I personally prefer the texture of the peeled potatoes however you can leave the skin on just make sure to throughly scrub the outside of the sweet potato before boiling.
