ingredients
2 1/2 pounds sweet potatoes
1 tablespoon light margarine
1/3 cup evaporated skimmed milk
1/4 cup sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Marshmallow Creme Sauce
4 tablespoons light margarine
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
3/4 cup light brown sugar
1/2 cup water
1 cup miniature marshmallows
directions
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
Place the sweet potatoes in a large pot. Add enough water to cover the sweet potatoes and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce the heat to medium and cook until the sweet potatoes are tender when pierced with a fork.
Drain the water and let the potatoes cool enough until they can be handled.
Peel the potatoes and place in a mixing bowl.
Add the margarine, evaporated milk, sugar, and vanilla extract. Beat with a mixer on low speed until smooth.
Spoon the mixture into a 2-quart casserole dish.
In a small saucepan, melt the margarine for the creme sauce over medium heat. When melted, whisk in the flour and cook, stirring constantly, for 1 minute.
Add the brown sugar and water and mix well until the brown sugar dissolves.
Stir in the marshmallows and cook over medium heat until the marshmallows are melted and the sauce is thickened.
Pour the marshmallow sauce evenly over the sweet potatoes.
Cover the casserole dish with foil and place in the oven. Bake the sweet potato casserole with marshmallow creme sauce at 350 degrees F for 20 minutes or until bubbly.
cook's notes
You can substitute 3 cans (15 oz. size) sweet potatoes, drained and mashed, in place of fresh. Canned sweet potatoes are already cooked so you can skip that process. Proceed as recipe directs.

This was really good. Sweet, almost like a desert. It doesn't take 2hrs to make more like 20 minutes cooking with 40 minutes total.

These were the BEST sweet potatoes. Although we didn't mash the potatoes. We just peeled and cut up and then followed the rest of the recipe. The sauce is to die for. I am fixing them again for thanksgiving.
