Using just a few ingredients, this is the perfect side to your Thanksgiving dinner or any holiday celebration. It was always my absolute favorite side dish and my mom had a secret ingredient that made it so good – orange juice!
We prefer the sweet potatoes in large pieces, not mashed, but feel free to mash or whip them if you wish.
You will need:
2 (29 oz.) cans cut Sweet Potatoes, drained
½ cup orange juice
1 tsp brown sugar
pinch of salt
about ½ cup mini marshmallows
Directions for Grandma’s Sweet Potato Casserole:
First, open the cans of sweet potatoes and drain. Next, place the cut sweet potatoes in a 2 quart baking dish that is also microwave safe
Now, mix together the orange juice, brown sugar and a pinch of salt in a small bowl.
Pour the juice mixture over the sweet potatoes and carefully toss to coat. Then microwave the sweet potatoes on high for 2 minutes and stir. Then microwave 3 more minutes or until hot.
Remove from microwave and sprinkle marshmallows on top. You can cover the top of the casserole entirely with the marshmallows or just sprinkle a few on top.
Finally place in the oven and broil. Watch carefully! The marshmallows toast up fast!
