I make this classic sweet potato casserole without marshmallows for Thanksgiving, but I also have been known to serve it with meat loaf and even grilled meat. —Eleanor Sherry, Highland Park, Illinois

  • 1/2 cup packed brown sugar

Sweet Potato Casserole Tips

Can you use canned sweet potatoes to make sweet potato casserole?

Yes! Start with drained canned sweet potatoes, then mash them with a potato masher or an electric mixer. If you're using canned sweet potatoes in syrup and you'd like to reduce added sugar, rinse them well before preparing this recipe, then plan to adjust the brown sugar to your tastes if necessary.

How should you store leftovers of sweet potato casserole without marshmallows?

Refrigerate leftovers, covered, in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. Check out our guide to how long leftovers will last. 

How can you reheat sweet potato casserole without marshmallows?

You can reach for the microwave for speed and ease, but it won’t give you a crispy topping like reheating leftovers in the air fryer will. You could also cover and bake the casserole at 325°F until heated through, uncovering it during the last 5 minutes to help the topping crisp up again without overbrowning.
