My mother-in-law's amazing sweet potato casserole recipe has everyone demanding them every year. We made a few slight modifications to make it a little less sweet so my husband could have marshmallows on top.
Beat mashed sweet potato, white sugar, eggs, milk, 3 tablespoons melted butter, vanilla extract, and salt together in a large bowl until smooth; spread ito a 9-inch square baking dish.
Bake in preheated oven until firmly set, about 45 minutes.
Mix chopped pecans, brown sugar, flour, and 1/4 cup melted butter together in a bowl until dry ingredients are evenly moistened; spread evenly over the sweet potato mixture and top with marshmallows.
Return dish to oven and bake until marshmallows are lightly browned, about 15 minutes.
