Sweet Potato Casserole

Ingredients

2 - 40 oz cans of cut sweet potatoes

1 stick of butter

1/2 cup pecan halves

1-1/2 cups of brown sugar

2 tsp of maple syrup

1 tbsp molasses

1/8 cup orange juice

pinch of salt

2 tbsp cinnamon

2 tsp nutmeg

1 tsp allspice

1 cup or more mini marshmallows

In large frying pan melt butter. Add brown sugar, maple syrup, molasses and orange juice, cook until bubbly. Add seasonings and stir. Lower heat to medium and add pecans, stir till well coated.

Gently add sweet potatoes and spoon liquid over potatoes till well coated careful not to break them up too much. Cover and let cook for about 15-20 minutes on medium heat stirring frequently so sugar doesn't burn but syrup begins to thicken and cook down a bit.

Transfer to greased 10x10 baking dish and top with mini marshmallows. Bake in oven for about 5-10 minutes until marshmallows brown.

Let cool 10 minutes before serving so people do not burn themselves on the hot sugar syrup. Should be ooey-goey and delicious.
