Easy homestyle goodness.
 
Directions
Heat oven to 350 degrees. Put on a pot of water to boil that is big enough to accommodate the cut
up sweet potatoes. Put on a second pot with all the other ingredients except sweet potatoes,
marshmallows, and pecans and mix together well on medium high heat. Turn heat down to medium to
medium low heat after mixture starts to boil. Stir the ingredients frequently during the time
it takes to cut and boil the potatoes. This allows sauce to thicken before putting the dish in
the oven to bake and allows you to shorten the oven cooking time by half. Peel and cut sweet
potatoes in approximately 1/2 inch thick slices and boil until they are tender almost all the way
through. Once potatoes are at your desired tenderness, empty the potatoes into a colander to
drain water. Your sauce should be somewhat thick yet easily pourable at this time. Place the
sweet potatoes in a large Pyrex dish, large pot, or casserole dish and pour sauce all over the
potatoes. Place in the oven for about fifteen minutes. Put the marshmallows all over the top of
the potatoes and heat for about 5 more minutes. Caution - potatoes will remain hot in the pan
for a good ten to fifteen minutes, so use caution when you dig in.
