Marsha's Sweet Potato Casserole

After making my favorite recipe recently, I decided to do a few easy tweaks and make it "Marsha's version." It turned out super good and I want to document it here. It's not much different, but just slightly different than this recipe: https://1brother2sisters.blogspot.com/2019/12/sweet-potato-casserole.html

Marsha's Sweet Potato Casserole

Casserole:

• 1 large can (approximately 30 oz.) sweet potatoes
• 1/4 cup brown sugar
• 1 tsp. vanilla
• 1/4 cup butter
• 2 eggs, beaten, room temperature
• 1/2 tsp. cinnamon
• pinch of salt

Topping:

• 1/2 cup flour
• 1/2 cup oats
• 1/4 cup brown sugar
• 1/3 cup butter, cold cut into pieces
• honey roasted pecan pieces, about a handful
• pinch of salt
• mini marshmallows (for topping later in baking)

Directions:

1. Combine all casserole ingredients and place in a greased square baking dish. 
2. Mix all topping ingredients together (except marshmallows) with a fork until crumbly and sprinkle on potatoes. (You may find it easiest to mix the flour, oats, brown sugar and salt together first, then cut in the cold butter with your fork, and finally toss in the nuts.)
3. Bake at 325 degrees for 18 minutes. 
4. Add marshmallows and cook until brown and melted, about another 15 minutes or until internal temperature of the middle of the casserole reaches 165 degrees.

These are the pecan pieces and sweet potatoes that I used.
