I got this recipe off of a couple of years ago when I was searching for a special sweet potato dish to make to go with our Thanksgiving meal. It was an instant hit, and is now requested at EVERY holiday meal. Read more . This rich, decadent dish can easily take the place of pie. (Who are we kidding? It can be an *extra* dessert for your holiday spread!) Ingredients:
4 cups sweet potatoes, peeled and cubed |
2 cups white sugar |
4 eggs, beaten |
3/4 cup butter, melted |
1 cup evaporated milk |
1 teaspoon ground nutmeg |
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon |
2 cups miniature marshmallows |
