Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
Melt the butter in a deep skillet over medium heat. Stir in the brown sugar and mix until the sugar has dissolved.

Remove the pan from the heat. Mash the sweet potatoes and stir in the marshmallow creme. Transfer the sweet potatoes to a shallow baking dish. Top with marshmallows, if using.

A can of cream of mushroom soup can be a real dinner saver. It works great in casseroles and can turn into a sauce or gravy in a pinch.
It may look like a sad little package shoved in the back of your freezer, but frozen spinach actually has a lot of culinary uses (and some may surprise you).

These were fantastic and so easy! I didn't have marshmallow cream on hand, so I just mixed some heavy cream in instead since it really didn't call for much. Delish!

Very simple recipe for sweet potatoes. I added pecans to the top before topping off with the marshmallows. I didn't have the mini ones, just used the large ones - and it didn't seem to make a difference. I think the next time I prepare I will try adding the pecans to the margarine / brown sugar in the skillet to see if I can tell the difference. This sweet potato recipe is simple to prepare and will be fabulous to serve as part of a Thanksgiving meal.
