How to make the best crockpot sweet potatoes with marshmallows - This simple and easy side dish casserole is perfect for healthy holiday meals! Can use canned or fresh sweet potatoes. Top with pecan streusel topping.
If using fresh sweet potatoes, cook them according to your preferred method. We pierce ours with a fork, place them on a plate, and press the baked potato button on our microwave. Peel potatoes and cut into chunks. Alternately, you could peel them raw, cut into chunks, and boil the potatoes.
Mash cooked or canned sweet potatoes. Mix the mash together with white sugar, ½ cup melted butter, evaporated milk, eggs, and vanilla. Scoop into the crock of the slow cooker.
Mix together 3 tablespoons melted butter, pecans, brown sugar, and flour. Spoon on top of sweet potato mixture.
Cook on low for 3-4 hours or until topping is melted and gooey.
