Mom’s Sweet Potato Casserole

December 6, 2009 by Amy 1 Comment

Another classic that just screams Thanksgiving for my family is my mom’s sweet potato casserole. I made it a little lighter by using products from Splenda, and wow, was it delicious!

Mom’s Sweet Potato Casserole

Ingredients:

  • 7 large sweet potatoes
  • 3/4 cup of butter (used 1 tbsp. of smart balance)
  • 1 can evaporated milk
  • 3 eggs
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar (used 1/4 cup splenda br. sugar)
  • 1/2 cup gran sugar (used 1/4 cup splenda blend)
  • 1/2 tbsp. cinnamon
  • 1/2 tbsp. nutmeg
  • 1 tsp. ginger
  • 1 pinch ground cloves
  • 1 tsp. vanilla extract
  • 1 bag mini marshmallows

Directions:

  1. Boil sweet potatoes until fork tender. Allow potatoes to cool.
  2. Peel sweet potatoes and place them in a large bowl. Mash using a hand or stand mixer.
  3. Cream butter, milk in with the potatoes. Add the sugars, eggs, spices and vanilla extract and mix until well blended.
  4. Bake at 425 in a 9×13 pan for 15 minutes, or until brown.
  5. Sprinkle mini marshmallows on top, turn on the broiler and bake with the oven door open until they brown.
