Ingredients
  

4 large sweet potatoes (about 2 pounds)

1/2 cup maple syrup

1/4 cup bourbon

1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted

1/2 cup brown sugar

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 teaspoon cinnamon

1/2 teaspoon nutmeg

1/4 teaspoon salt

1 cup mini marshmallows (optional for the topping)

1/2 cup chopped pecans (for added crunch)

Instructions
 

Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

    Prepare the sweet potatoes: Peel the sweet potatoes and cut them into chunks. Place them in a large pot of boiling salted water and cook for about 15-20 minutes, or until they're tender when pierced with a fork. Drain and let cool slightly.

      Mash the sweet potatoes: In a large mixing bowl, mash the sweet potatoes until smooth. You can use a potato masher or a hand mixer for this step.

        Add the flavors: Stir in the maple syrup, bourbon, melted butter, brown sugar, vanilla extract, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt until well combined.

          Transfer to a baking dish: Spoon the sweet potato mixture into a greased 9x13 inch baking dish, spreading it out evenly.

            Add the toppings: If desired, sprinkle mini marshmallows and chopped pecans evenly over the top of the sweet potato mixture.

              Bake: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, until heated through and the marshmallows are golden brown (if using).

                Serve: Allow the casserole to cool for a few minutes before serving. This delightful dish is perfect for holiday gatherings, bringing warmth and flavor to your table.
