Easy Sweet Potato Casserole with Canned Yams

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Spray a 1-quart baking dish with cooking spray and set aside.

Step 2

Drain the canned yams, transfer them to a large mixing bowl, and mash them with a potato masher or the back of a wooden spoon. Add the melted butter, brown sugar, egg, cinnamon, and salt. Mix well.

Step 3

Spread the mashed sweet potato mixture evenly in the prepared baking dish. Bake, uncovered, for 30 minutes. Remove the dish from the oven and top with the marshmallows and chopped pecans.

Step 4

Turn on the oven broiler and return the dish to the upper-middle rack. Broil for 1-2 minutes, or until marshmallows are lightly browned.

Step 5

Remove from the oven and enjoy!
