Ingredients

Sweet Potato Casserole

  • 2 29 ounce cans of sweet potatoes
  • 4 tablespoons butter melted
  • 2 tablespoons sugar
  • 3 tablespoons brown sugar packed
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon allspice
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 2 tablespoons orange juice
  • 2 large eggs beaten
  • 1/3 cup evaporated milk

Toppings

  • 1 cup chopped pecans
  • 1/3 cup brown sugar packed
  • 3 tablespoons flour
  • 3 tablespoons butter melted
  • 1 1/2 cups mini marshmallows

Instructions

  • To make this Slow Cooker Sweet Potato Casserole, start by spraying your slow cooker with non-stick spray. Next, drain your canned sweet potatoes, add to the slow cooker and using a fork or a potato masher, lightly break up the sweet potatoes and mash them to your desired consistency.
  • Next, add in the sugar, vanilla, butter and brown sugar along with the orange juice, eggs, milk and spices and using a hand mixer, beat together to combine.
  • Smooth mixture out evenly and in a small bowl, combine brown sugar, flour, melted butter and pecans.  Sprinkle evenly over the sweet potatoes. Cover and cook on High for 3 - 4 hours.
  • Right before serving, top with mini marshmallows, cover and let marshmallows melt. Reduce your heat to Warm and serve your Slow Cooker Sweet Potato Casserole directly out of the slow cooker.

Notes

PRO TIPS FOR PERFECT SWEET POTATO CASSEROLE

  • Don't want to serve this with both a marshmallow and a pecan topping?  Leave out whichever you don't prefer and your sweet potato casserole will still be delicious.
  • This sweet potato casserole filling can be made the night before and then added into your slow cooker the day of.  
  • Don’t skip the orange juice – it gives the sweet potatoes a little bit of “zing"!
